NORTHVILLE, Mich.–The sixth annual 10-minute Sandbox Play festival produced by Tipping Point Theatre here will run on June 16 and 17th at the First Presbyterian Church of Northville.
The TPT received over 40 play submissions from playwrights across the country. The selection committee picked the top 4 plays to perform during the “Arts & Acts Festival.” Festival is sponsored by Realty agency Keller Williams.
“The Sandbox play festival began to create more opportunities for local playwrights to have their work produced, for directors to gain experience, and for our very talented actors to work in a professional theatre setting,” said Lynn Wilde Concannon, marketing director at TPT.
Performances begin at 8PM.
Tickets are $15 each when reserved before June 16th, $20 each when reserved
on or after June 16th. Tickets are available at the TPT box office, or at the door before performances.
