Our Ten Minute Play Series continues with these 'challenging' shorts. What makes them challenging? The characters are more complex, like in Bottle Baby or Sunday Lunch. The rhythms in the scene require more specific timing to make them work, like in Oh Chad and You. Or there's a twist that needs more than simple memorization and blocking like Hall Pass and Juice Box.

All in all, there's a lot packed into these ten minute plays. Up for the challenge?
