๐ŸŽญ AUDITIONS ARE OPEN. THE STAGE IS WAITING.

Island Theatreโ€™s 13th Annual Ten-Minute Play Festival is calling actors of all ages to step into the spotlight.

What happens when the war comes home?

Island Theatre presents Time Stands Still โ€” a gripping, intimate drama by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies.

A photographer. A journalist. A life built on chasing the worldโ€™s most dangerous stories.
But when the adrenaline fadesโ€ฆ whatโ€™s left?

After a devastating injury in Iraq, Sarah is forced back into a life she no longer recognizes โ€” one filled with quiet, safetyโ€ฆ and questions she canโ€™t outrun. As relationships shift and truths surface, she must decide:
Can you ever truly step away from the chaos?

๐ŸŽญ 2 SPOTS LEFT. Thatโ€™s it.

If youโ€™ve ever thought, โ€œI want to directโ€ฆ but where do I even start?โ€ This is your doorway.

On April 18, step into a small, hands-on workshop where directing stops being abstract and starts becoming something you can do.

Led by Stephan Golux, youโ€™ll:
โ€ข Break down what makes a scene work
โ€ข Collaborate with actors in real time
โ€ข Explore movement, focus, and staging choices
โ€ข Turn ideas into living moments on stage

Half discussion. Half on-your-feet directing.
All signal, no fluff.

๐ŸŽฌ Whether youโ€™re brand new or leveling up, this room is built for you.

๐ŸŽญ Only 4 Spots Left. Step Into the Directorโ€™s Chair.

What actually happens between the script and the stage?

On April 18, youโ€™re invited inside that space.

Join Island Theatre for an immersive Stage Directing Workshop led by Stephan Golux.
Part deep-dive seminar, part on-your-feet creative lab. This isnโ€™t just theory. This is the craft, alive and moving.

Youโ€™ll explore:
โ€ข What it means to be a director (beyond the stereotype)
โ€ข How to collaborate with actors and designers without losing your vision
โ€ข The invisible architecture of staging: movement, focus, composition, rhythm
โ€ข The balance of authority, ethics, and artistry
โ€ข How to take a script and build a living moment

And thenโ€ฆ youโ€™ll do it.

Using scenes from The Seagull by Anton Chekhov, youโ€™ll work directly with actors.
Shaping choices, testing ideas, discovering what works (and what definitely doesnโ€™t ๐Ÿ˜„).

No experience? Perfect.
Some experience? Even better.
Curiosity required.

๐Ÿ“ Side Quest Stage (Rolling Bay Hall)
10598 NE Valley Rd, Bainbridge Island
๐Ÿ—“ April 18, 2026
โฐ 1pm โ€“ 4pm
Cost: $50

โš ๏ธ Only 4 slots remain (out of 12 total).

This is small by design. Focused. Personal. Hands-on.

๐Ÿ‘€ Got a ten-minute story hiding in your desk drawer?

Just keep it to ten minutes or less.

Open to Kitsap County playwrights, high school age and up, whether you live here now or have called this place home in the past.

๐Ÿ“… Submit by February 14, 2026
