By Natasha Yim
It’s opening night, and a palpable excitement hangs in the air. Actors review lines backstage. Directors make last minute adjustments. The auditorium hums with conversation. Is this a new Broadway play? A much-anticipated Andrew Lloyd Webber production? No, it’s the annual New Plays Festival at Mendocino College.
“This has become one of the most well-attended and cherished events of the college theatre season,” says Producer and Theatre Director Reid Edelman.
For one weekend in May, the community comes together to watch eight to ten 10-minute plays written by local play-wrights and direct-ed by students in Edelman’s directing class. The plays have included drama, comedy, and even musicals, which play to a sell-out crowd every year.
The New Plays Festival began hum-bly enough in 2002 when Edelman and Eng l ish profes-sor Jody Gehrman decided to provide their students an opportunity to put into practice what they’d learned. It was little more than a staged reading then, with no sets, and few costumes. “However,” Edelman says, “the energy and excitement generated by the first couple of events warranted a full annual production.”
In 2004, they expanded the process, holding open audi-tions and inviting writers from the surrounding counties (Mendocino, Lake and Sonoma) to submit plays, which are read by a screening committee made up of Edelman, Gehrman, and one or two other readers. Twenty to 25 plays are then selected and given anonymously to students in
Roseanne Wetzel and Jake Stoepler in Corinna Rogers’ Perfect Results (directed by David Wolf), 2010 New Plays Festival. All photos: David Wolf.
Edelman’s directing class. The directors list their top three choices, cite reasons for choosing the plays, and present their creative visions for casting and directing. In matching directors to plays Gehrman says, ”We look at the balance of the show, personalities of writers and directors, and how capable a director is of handling the challenges of a particular play.” Generally, though, directors get their first or second choice. On average, the committee receives about 60 to 80 plays annually, but last year topped 100, a testament to the increasing popularity of the New Plays Festival.
Whittling 100 plays down to the final eight to ten is no easy task. Edelman looks for plays that “tel l a compel-ling story through authentic dramatic action.” He advises playwrights to focus on human interac-tions and dialogue.
“Ten-minute plays are not skits,” G ehr man s ay s . “They have a begin-ning, middle, and end and are driven by conflict, compel-ling characters, and engaging dialogue.” And naturally, they
need to fit into the ten minute time constraint. Budgetary limitations, as well as quick transitions between plays, neces-sitate minimal sets and costumes.
As the producer of the show, Edelman offers guidance to the directors. He attends at least two rehearsals for each play, all the dress rehearsals, and coordinates the technical aspects like lighting and sound. He delights in helping students work through the challenges and intricacies of the casting process, watching the playwrights and directors interact at rehearsals, and experiencing the thrill of opening night. However, the
Spring/Summer 2011 53
most exciting aspect of the festival for him is getting out of the students’ way. “I’m there as a resource, but the festival really belongs to the students.”
As the dramaturge, Gehrman handles the literary aspects of the production. She supports and guides writers through the playwriting process. “Sometimes a script shows promise, but isn’t quite there yet,” she says. Occasionally, she mediates conflicting creative issues between writer and director.
Edelman encourages the playwright and the director to have productive and mutually respectful conversations about the play. “The most important thing is that the playwrights see their vision executed as they imagined it. But sometimes a playwright’s initial idea is not in the best service of the play. The director might be better equipped to offer effective approaches for bringing that vision to life on stage.”
Edelman recommends that those who want to direct do as much acting as they can. He feels that a good direc-tor needs to understand how actors work. He also suggests that they try writing their own plays. “A director who has at least attempted to write a play will have a greater apprecia-tion of how difficult it is to write a good play and of how

vulnerable playwrights are when they pass off their script to a director.”
Gehrman and Edelman advise potential playwrights to read a lot of plays, attend plays and playwriting classes, and recognize that writing for the stage is very different than writing for other genres. Anyone wanting to venture into playwriting can submit original ten-minute plays to Jody Gehrman at jgehrman@mendocino.edu. The submission deadline for the New Plays Festival is February 14 every year. Gehrman can also be contacted at 707 468-3150.
For those who want the ultimate playwriting challenge, the 24-hour Play Festival offers an adrenaline-pumping the-atrical experience. As the name suggests, plays are written and performed in a 24-hour period by seven or eight teams of actors, directors, and writers (join a team or round up your own) who gather at Ukiah Players Theatre on the scheduled evening to pick a random theme. Writers have 12 hours (from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) to write a play on the chosen theme, and actors and directors have 12 hours (from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) to rehearse their lines and stage it. The plays are then performed at UPT at 8:00 p.m. on a Saturday night. Past themes have included Death, Travel, and Poison and Insane. They’re often vague and broad enough to lend themselves to a wide variety of interpretations, resulting in performances that are zany, hilariously raucous, and just plain fun.
For those interested in participating in the 24-Hour Play Festival (as a writer, director or actor) contact Shelley Aisner at shelleykatt@yahoo.com, or 707 462-1210.
Natasha Yim has recently returned from Sydney, Australia, where her ten-minute play, Playing with Knives, was performed at the Newtown Theatre for the Short+Sweet International Ten Minute Play Festival.
