The Champion Ten Minute Play Festival

In the Champion 10MPF, you will experience: a quiz champion who falls asleep while studying, only to wake up and meet a new friend who tells her all is not what it seems; a gruff 1950s boxer trainer and his dark premonitions about his cat-loving prize fighter; what happens after a zany zealot hides in a Congresswoman’s closet for a year; the epic, age-old, cosmic battle between the moon and the fabulous sun; a famous over-the-top movie star and her practical daughter try to work out their stark differences before a trip to the lake; a money-loving, crazy politician running for president is confronted by his life-long bouncy and friendly companion: his soul.

This play festival will also feature music from the awesome local musical act, Junglecorp – with their new, Champion-themed rock opera story performed in-between each of the plays!  Junglecorp leaves audience members thoroughly entertained and they are excited to grace the Monkey stage for the 30th 10MPF. Check out their music for previous play festivals, fun videos and connect with them.

The Portland 10MPF is an event MWHAO produces 2-3 times a year. We feature new plays written, directed and performed by Portland artists – with a live musical act, Junglecorp, performing in-between each play! Every play is ten minutes or less and all of the plays are performed every performance night. It’s a very fun, well attended event and there is nothing else like it in the city. We are theater for everybody: never turning away audience members for lack of funds and we have an open-door policy where anyone can submit a play or try out to be involved. These are your stories, Portland!

The Champion Ten Minute Play Festival will run about 2 hours with a 15 minute intermission.
