This September, Eden Prairie Players is presenting a line-up of six new, unpublished plays. We have been including unpublished work in the mix of our One Acts Collections for several years now, and we're thrilled to be able to showcase fresh playwriting talent in this way. We chose these six plays from a field of 300 submissions, reviewed by a group of dedicated volunteers. We're really excited about this year's selections!

Featuring the talents of:

Lori Alsdurf • Kris Augdahl • Jen Cordes • David Durkee • Robin Gilmer
Marcia Graybow • Wendy Hathaway • Michael Hentges • Rose B. Johnson
Gina Light • Chris Maresca • Joey Mixis • Michael Oslund
Keerthana Ramanathan • Steve Ramirez • Tim Rawerts • Ericka Rude
Claire Schmidtke • Glen Stone • Christian Veninga

A couple of years ago we introducing a limited number of general admission premium seats. These have been very popular so we're doing it again. For an additional $5 you’ll reserve a more comfortable, padded seat in either the first or second row of the center section. Of course our standard seating will also be available at the regular price. There is a limited number of these premium seats available for each performance, so we suggest purchasing in advance!

As always you’re free to bring your own beer or wine beverage to the production to enjoy during the performance. Light refreshments will be served prior to the show and during intermission.
