Orange County Arts Commission Spring 2015 Arts Program Grant 2
ArtsCenter Stage production of 10 By 10 in the Triangle
Arts Program Grant— Spring 2015
Orange County Arts Commission
Proposed Use of Grant Funds
ArtsCenter Stage production of 10 By 10 in the Triangle
2015 marks the 14th installment of ArtsCenter Stage's Annual 10 By 10 in the Triangle, an
international festival of ten ten-minute plays. All performances will take place July 10-26, 2015 in
the Earl and Rhoda Wynn Theatre at The ArtsCenter in Carrboro, North Carolina. Community
theatre at its most professional, 10 By 10 features local actors, directors, and designers working
alongside local, regional, national, and international playwrights. The ArtsCenter respectfully asks
the Orange County Arts Commission for a grant of$1,500 to help support the fees for emerging,
homegrown, world-class artists.
From over 500 scripts submitted from all over the world, a panel of theatre artists scored plays
through three rounds of reading and selected 35 plays for the semi-final round. Local, Triangle-
based directors for 10 By 10 in the Triangle will select the final ten plays for this production. The ten
plays are new scripts and world premieres by critically acclaimed playwrights as well as up-and-
coming artists. This script selection process extends from January to May and includes several
rounds of reading and scoring. Final selection of plays will take place May 22, 2015.
As the majority of theatre companies are wrapping up their seasons in late spring, The ArtsCenter
is hard-at-work preparing for its biggest theatre event of the year. The 10 By I 0 in the Triangle
works with local theatre practitioners during the "off-season" and fills an important niche in cultural
events programming. Bringing the best of the ten-minute-play format to the Triangle since 2002, 10
By 10 is a summer tradition.
In July 2014, 10 By 10 in the Triangle drew over 1800 patrons to Carrboro for its three-week run.
10 By 10 serves audiences representative of the diversity of The ArtsCenter's constituency: 21
African-American, 8% Asian-American, 10% Latino, 2% Native American, and 59% Caucasian.
Patrons to 10 By 10 come from all over the Triangle and Triad areas: Chapel Hill, Carrboro,
Durham, Raleigh, Pittsboro, Hillsborough, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, and Greensboro. Patrons
traveled from as far away as Concord, Fayetteville, Grafton, and Lincolnton NC as well as from
other far-flung North Carolina locations. Last year's production also drew patrons from
throughout the southeast: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia; and from as far
away as California, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and Utah.
10 By 10 is a rare opportunity to introduce audiences to the theatre-going experience. As Susan
Broili wrote in The Chapel Hill Herald July 9, 2004: "For many, the festival marked the first time
people had been to the theater judging from the number of hands that went up when [Lynden]
Harris asked audiences if they were there for the first time. People seem more willing to take a
chance when the plays last only ten minutes."

Orange County Arts Commission Spring 2015 Arts Program Grant 3
ArtsCenter Stage production of 10 By 10 in the Triangle
With ten full, albeit short, productions in 10 By 10, the festival exposes audiences to a variety of
theatrical approaches. There are plays that make audiences laugh, that make audiences cry, that
make audiences question; plays with artistic perspectives, political perspectives, socio-economic
perspectives; plays that address age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, family, love; plays with dancing and
plays with singing. Such a diversity of theatrical styles, naturally appeals to diverse audiences.
International theatre at its most local, The ArtsCenter annually sponsors five of the produced
playwrights to come to the Triangle and engage in a cultural exchange that is so vital to our
community. Every year, sold-out audiences interact with these playwrights at the ever-popular
Playwrights Gala, a talkback with playwrights, actors and directors followed by a Wine & Meet the
Artists Reception at The ArtsCenter. (July 18, 2015). At this event, audiences learn about the
playwrights' and actors' creative processes, and become a part of that creative process themselves
by suggesting ways that the playwrights can further develop their scripts.
Furthermore, 10 By 10 is a forum for cross-collaborations between area artists. 10 By 10 has
expanded in recent years to include ten directors as well as the ten actors traditionally hired.
Mainstays of Triangle theatre will work alongside artists who are either new to the field or to the
area; artistic directors and local college professors collaborate with graduate students and working
actors. Such cross-collaborations are educational and inspiring to participating artists and
demonstrate to audiences that area theatres are united in their mission to contribute to Triangle
culture and community.
It is these emerging artists ArtsCenter Stage seeks to support. Three theater artists working with
10 By 10 2015 are emerging artists in the field of theater -Joseph Amodei, (Video Designer for 10
By 10 2015) Rob Byerly (Sound Designer for 10 By 10 2015), McKenzie Millican (Stage Manager for
10 By 10 2015). Joseph Amodei, a recent graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill has been working in the
Triangle area with various theater companies for a few years and got his start `off campus' with
ArtsCenter Stage. McKenzie and Rob are both currently college students, McKenzie at UNC-
Chapel Hill and Rob at NCSA in Winston-Salem. Both McKenzie and Rob have worked with
ArtsCenter Stage, McKenzie as Stage Manager for All is Calm in December 2014 and Rob in various
capacities running sound and/or light boards while a student at Chapel Hill High School.
In order to support these emerging theater artists, The ArtsCenter courteously asks the Orange
County Arts Commission for a grant of $1,500 to help support these artists' fees. Specifically, the
grant would cover the cost of paying these theater artists' stipends.
10 By 10 in the Triangle has become a tradition that Triangle audiences and theatre practitioners—
and playwrights around the world—look forward to each year. A grant from the Orange County
Arts Commission would be invaluable in maintaining The ArtsCenter as the largest employer of
artists in Orange County, malting this year's 10 By 10 in the Triangle a success, as well as laying the
groundwork for continuing this important cultural event in years to come.

have determined you are exempt from federal income tax under section
501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
We have further determined you are not a private foundation within
the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code, because you are an
organization described in section bl��l(A��,�?�. and ,0 & �1)
You are not liable for social security (FICA) taxes unless you
file a waiver of exemption certificate as provided in the Federal.
Insurance Contributions Act. You are not liable for the taxes imposed
under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) .
Since you are not a private foundation, you are not subject to
the excise taxes under Chapter 42 of the Code. However, you are not
automatically exempt -from other Federal excise taxes, If you have any
questions about excise, employment, or other Federal taxes, please
let us know,
Donors may deduct contributions to you as provided in section
170 of the Code. Requests, legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts to

SPOILER ALERT: This Year's 10 By 10 in the Triangle at the ArtsCenter Goes Rewardingly Meta*
By Alan R. Hall
tXFNr iii(WAi.\TioN;
July 11, 2014-Carrboro, NC:
Carrboro—(Fri., Jul. 11, 2014-
Sun.,Jul. 27, 2014)
The ArtsCenter opened its 13th annual 10 By 10 In the Triangle this weekend,giving its audience ten ten-minute plays in ArtsCenter: 10 By 10 in the
the space of a couple of hours.As usual,the house was packed for this opening,which draws playwrights from across Triangle
the country.The plays ran the gamut this year,but emphasis was on the theatre,plays about the theatre and playwrights Performed by ArtsCenter Stage
writing plays. Ticket prices detailed in Notes.--
ArtsCenter,(919)929-2787,ext.201
Act I began with'What the Theatre Is All About—A Master Class with Vincent Van Buren"by Cory Rieger of Los htfp:11www.artscenterlive.orai
Angeles.The play featured David Berberian as an Actor with a capital A, a self-important puff of a man who believes
himself to be Master of the Local Stage.He is challenged for this role by another Actor, played by Fred Corlett,and the two have an Act-off,in which an
independent judge, Lazarus Simmons,decides which of the two is Master.This was a hilarious send-up of the local stage and a fun opening to this year's
program.
Next was'The Interpreter,"a play about the Internet and dating,by Bridget Erin of Denham Springs, LA. Caroline Strange as the interpreter gives the subtext and
hidden meanings of what is said between two people on a first date,and hilarity ensues.Jim Muscater and Terra Hodge play the daters,who decide that the
hidden meanings of this interpreter are to be left behind them.
"Going Viral,"by Brandon M. Crose,gave us a pair of parents who have decided that their 16-year-old son is now ready to launch himself into the Internet,and
have designed for him a Facebook portfolio. David Berberian plays Dad, Page Purgar is Mom, and Jorge Donoso plays the son,who is the only adult in the
room.After mom and dad have explained what they have done for their budding Internet star,the son tells them that once he has examined this page thoroughly,
he will decide what punishment is appropriate for the two!
Jordan Rawlins of Los Angeles gave us the next play,"Canyon,"as a couple(Lazarus Simmons and Caroline Strange)meets a young woman(Jillian Lea)at the
rim of the Grand Canyon.This young woman announces that she intends to jump off the canyon rim. Her intention is not death,but a launch into the ether,as
she intends to fly.After some enervating back and forth,the couple,in an attempt to dissuade her,tells her that they will jump with her.At the critical moment,
neither woman jumps, but the man not only jumps, he actually succeeds in doing exactly what the young woman believes would happen—he flies!
"Ten Minute Life"by Elaine Smith of Middleburg,FL,gave us a man of advanced years(Fred Corlett)who is attempting to write a ten-minute play. His live-in
partner(Mary Rowland)is here to give him help,which is completely distracting.She announces that she loves him,which throws him into a tizzy.The
impossibility of being able to cram life into ten minutes is discussed,as well as the man's inability to return love and her ability to achieve it. She overcomes his
fears and he accepts her advancement, proving to both of them that something real actually can take place in the space of ten minutes.
Act II began with`This is not a Play,"by Chas Belov of San Francisco.We are presented with two women(Jillian Lea and Page Purgar)who regale us with the
idea that what they are doing is not a play, it has not been written by a playwright, and it does not have any aspect of the playwright's craft—proving by example
that it is indeed exactly what they say it ain't!
"The Wisdom of Pirates"came next,by Amanda Petefish-Schrag of Maryville,MO,who tries to tell us that an eye patch allows a pirate—and anyone else who
wears it—to see more clearly.Terra Hodge tells her husband,Jim Moscater,that she sees things more clearly now that she wears this patch,which makes him

scoff.The intimate back and forth that ensues gives Moscater reason to believe, and when his wife discards the patch, he picks it up and wears it himself.
"Lost in Thought"is a scintillating work by Christopher Lockheardt that gives us the thoughts of a man doing a mindless chore—washing dishes—and what he
thinks as his mind wanders.Jorge Donoso is thinking of the girl he just broke up with(Caroline Strange)and the episodes that follow are the advancements he
attains as he works to rid himself of this painful experience.
Terence Patrick Hughes gave us our next presentation,"Recess at Our Lady of the Bleeding Heart, Mind and Spirit—Once Reformed."David Berberian teaches
science and math to boys at the school; Page Purgar teaches English to the girls.The sexes do not mingle at Our Lady,and the two talk to each other across a
barrier that separates the playground. It is possible that these two may have a meeting of the minds, but that meeting is dashed by his admission that he has
accepted another teaching assignment,which she was offered and turned down.
The conclusion of the night was a play titled"A Streaker Named Desire,"by Carl A. Rossi of Boston.This play explores the intricacies of Tennessee Williams,
as Jorge Donoso plays the Streaker,who has come to meet a Southern Gentleman of advancing years who walks with a limp and has one foot in the grave
(Fred Corlett).The streaker's brother, Death, also appears,and Corlett's character must decide which of the two men he will embrace, Desire or Death.He
chooses Desire,and gains years on his life as he departs with same, losing his limp and gaining immense energy. In contrast, Mary Rowland,who plays a
madwoman,confronts and accepts Death as her suitor,and the two lay down together as the lights fade.
Only three of these works have been performed before, making seven of this year's ten world premieres.The audience was right with these ten actors as they
performed these ten very varied works,and the emphasis of the night,the playwright and the play,struck just the right note for the evening.The best of these
ten would be Rossi's"A Streaker Named Desire,"as the playwright displayed his knowledge of the genre and Tennessee Williams in particular. Director Josh
Benjamin easily meshed seven actors onstage,giving us the largest cast of the evening.A close second would be Smith's'Ten Minute Life,"giving us the angst
of the playwright and the joys of the moment. Director Chris Cheron led two veteran actors through a most enjoyable romp, and concluded with a most satisfying
d6nouement.
The ArtsCenter's annual 10 By 10 in the Triangle runs each weekend in July. For more details on dates and times, please view the sidebar.

Honoring the best plays, performers,
directors and designers of the year
By Byron Woods
Welcome to our annual bash. We'd call it a holiday gathering, but the party's Facebook
actually been in progress all year long, in theaters large and small across our Email
region. Everybody brings a camera to these things, it seems—and we're no
different. In the categories and lists below you'll find a series of snapshots, Tumbir
candids and motion studies we've taken of an exuberant theater community Twitter
ever busy in the business of creation. (No selfies. You're welcome.) Gmail
Contributors to this story included INDY Week critics Kate Dobbs Ariail, Tom Favorites
Elrod, Emma Miller, Zack Smith and Chris Vitiello. All winners are listed in More (293)

SPECIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE THEATER
Ellen Hemphill, Derrick Ivey, Tim Scales
We get it: It is hard enough getting your own shows up and running in the
first place. That's why it's particularly notable when stage artists are able to
contribute something beyond their own work to the larger community of
practice as well.
When Duke University gave ELLEN HEMPHILL no room to stage her newest
work, she raised the funds, summoned the people power and converted a
long-shuttered warehouse on Foster Street to a stately pleasure dome called
539 Muze. There she staged The Narrowing, and in December Little Green
Pig produced The Man Who Was Thursday in the same space.
With Manbites Dog Theater just two blocks away and the Shadowbox one
block over, what could stop this development from catalyzing a downtown
theater district?The bulldozer's blade, perhaps, as the commercial space is
rumored for redevelopment. Still, it was fun while it lasted.
Now, a few words about DERRICK IVEY—or, as critic Kate Dobbs Ariail calls
him, "He who does it all." It would have been hard to see independent
theater in Durham this year without witnessing his work on stage, in moving
studies including The Homosexuals, The New Electric Ballroom and The
Best of Enemies.
But then he also designed the sets in each of these productions. And did the
costumes for Ballroom. And directed the Savoyards summer production of
The Pirates of Penzance. And so on, as he has for years.
Ivey's "done such great work with so few resources for so many theater
groups for so many years,"Ariail says, making "magic work on the stage [in
a] quiet, almost self-effacing way."
Here's a Zen arts-management koan: If a tree falls in a forest without an
audience, it doesn't matter what kind of sound it makes. After moving here
in 2010, TIM SCALES found an independent theater scene brimming with
energy and talent—but frequently without much of a clue about how to
market and promote its own work. A young professional arts marketer who'd
already worked by then with New York's Roundabout Theatre and London's
Gate Theatre, Scales saw a niche with a need—and started filling it. Ever

since, he's been helping a growing number of companies such as Streetsigns
Center, Haymaker, Manbites Dog and Little Green Pig, independent artists
including Leah Wilks and Torry Bend, Chapel Hill's Office of Public and
Cultural Arts and Carrboro Film Festival all get the word out about the work
they do. They have grown because he has. May that work continue.
SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT IN THE HUMANITIES
ArtsCenter Stage: Series: Walt, The Whipping Man, A Civil War Christmas:
An American Musical Celebration
Manbites Dog Theater: The Best of Enemies
ArtsCenter Stage's Jeri Lynn Schulke took a programming risk, slating a
season of theatrical works to commemorate the Civil War sesquicentennial
through three different perspectives. The payoff: a regional premiere in May
of a music theater work that poetically placed the life of Walt Whitman on
stage in his own words; October's five-star production of The Whipping
Man, in which the remains of a Jewish family—two former slaves and their
one-time master—find one another after the fall of Richmond; and Paula
Vogel's panoramic A Civil War Christmas, which opened last week.
It took two years for Mark St. Germain's stage adaptation of The Best of
Enemies to premiere in the city where the events it depicts took place. When
it did, it played on opening night to an audience that included surviving
members of the original cast: activist Ann Atwater and organizer Bill Riddick,
who risked their lives opposing racism on the streets of Durham in the
1970s, and whose struggles were depicted, before them, on stage.
Historians and scholars have speculated for some time on the specific half-
life of American racism. Still, one conclusion seems clear: at this date, it
remains much longer than the average contemporary attention span.
Depending on the ages and experiences that unite and isolate them, such a
work is easily a reminder to the person in one seat—and a revelation to the
person next to them. To the latter, we dedicate this citation, with a strictly
confidential admission to those who weren't around in 1974. Actually, it
wasn't that bad.
It was much, much worse. It didn't end after 105 minutes.
And it still isn't over.
SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT IN DESIGN
When all elements of a show's design work to create a world, an audience
moves into it. In these productions, superior design and execution across all
design elements earned our highest praise.Jon Haas' multi-screen video
montages and Alex Maness' audio design reinforced the time capsule that is
The Best of Enemies, and Jan Chambers and McKay Coble placed Greek
gods and foolish mortals in an aging combination European bathhouse and
bibliotech in Metamorphoses. The filigreed and porcelain corruption of Lear
was a waking nightmare, and we're still unpeeling the layers that gracefully
unfolded in The Narrowing.

Seigesbeck, and Greg Hohn plays Viktor Blomgren as well as directs.
Nancy Peacock's book, Life Without Water is adapted by Michael A. Smith into a memoir of hippy
relationships in the 1960s and 1970s. Cedar, telling the story, is enacted by Jane Allen Wilson,
who appeared much younger than what her current age should be. Her mother, Sarah is well
played by Marcia Edmundson, showing a maturity since Sarah's days as a flower child. Tom
Marriott directs.
"Property", a wryly titled work, with several meanings of that word at play, is written and directed by
Dana Coen, who keeps the pace up and the action taut. Well performed by Brandon Rafalson as
Isaiah, Alex Thompson as Barry, and Melanie Rio as Priscilla, the story is of a couple that retreats
from the dog-eat-dog business world to establish an agrarian life in northern Washington state, and
discovers abruptly that their newly purchased land is suitable only for sheep herding.
Isaiah, a local looking to establish his own herd insinuates himself into Barry and Priscilla's lives,
leading to a hazardous confrontation. The actors are exceptionally good, the tensions are gripping,
and the emotions are real and apparent.
Jade Arnold, whose star we have been happy to watch soar over the past couple of years, wows
us with his performance as Abraham Galloway in David Cecelski's "The Fire of Freedom,"
adapted to stage by Howard L. Craft. Galloway appears through a trap door in the stage,
representing the New Bern attic of free black abolitionist Mary Ann Starkey, where he will address a
gathering of potential black soldiers in the Union Army. The year is 1863, the year of the
Emancipation Proclamation, and he precedes an agent from the President whose purpose is to
persuade the audience to enlist. Arnold's performance is a tour de force, with Shakespearean
dramatics.
Arnold is costumed, by Marissa Erickson, in gentleman's attire and an elegant coif, with Colt .44
Navy pistol and Bowie knife, both of which he displays his ability and willingness to use. Director
Chaunesti Webb has provided this fine actor an animated routine, and Arnold's performance
delivers totally.
An excellent set by Rob Hamilton serves all five plays solidly, and video designer Joseph Amodei
splays images across the set that enhance the atmosphere of each of them. Sound designers and
composers Juliet Kaplan, Tom Guild, and Sam Gingher contribute incidental musical support and
off-stage sounds. Lighting designer Elizabeth Droessler creates a fine storm and select moods
through the shows.
Either way you see these shows, you will appreciate both the literary talent of the State of North
Carolina and thank the powers that be at The ArtsCenter for producing this festival and finding
these entertaining performers.
