Austin Script Works presents TIME STEPS, the 11th annual Out of Ink
Festival of 10 minute plays

Flashbacks, maternal admonitions, and all kinds of dances promenade through TIME STEPS, the 11th annual Out of Ink ten-minute play showcase.

Eight plays were selected from submissions created during a 48-hour writing retreat, called the Weekend Fling. During the Fling, writers are given three "ingredients" and two days to write their hearts out and create a ten-minute play

This year's ingredients were:

1. The play must go backward, from beginning to end
2. Include a sudden dance break that causes a shift in the action
3. Include three things your mother told you not to do

At the end of the Fling, the plays were read in an ASW Salon at the State Theater. A selection committee picked eight of the plays to
produce in the Out of Ink Festival. The selection committee included Michael John Garces, Artistic Director of Cornerstone Theatre in Los Angeles, Natalie George, local producer and lighting designer, and Emily Fordyce, ASW board member.

The TIME STEPS scripts were written by:
Katherine Catmull, Aimée Gonzalez, Meg Haley, Max Langert, Marshall Maresca, Susan McMath Platt, Sarah Saltwick and Timothy Thomas. The plays will be performed by an ensemble of actors including Kelli Bland, Kenneth Bradley, David Dubose, Kathleen Fletcher, David Gallagher, Anne Hulsman, Michelle Keffer, Rhonda Kulhanek, Christopher Loveless, Nicole Marosis, and Zeb L. West. They'll be directed by T.J. Gonzales, Heather Huggins, Ellie McBride, and Christina J. Moore .
