The 10-Minute Play Festival typically takes submissions for scripts and holds auditions in the fall, with performances taking place in January of the following year.
Fun Fact: The Gate City Bank Young Artist Program doesn’t actually have an age limit for auditions, but typically chooses performers between the ages of 23 and 35.
JUDY'S
Favorite Annual Events and Activities 10-Minute Play Festival at FMCT “This two-weekend event is a great way to bring a global perspective to the FM Area. It gives brand new directors an opportunity to grow and learn, and it’s a very small time commitment for anyone interested in taking a chance at acting. If you’ve ever thought about being on stage—this is your chance to give it a try! Be sure to get your tickets early, as seating is limited and it sells out quickly each year.”
FM Opera’s Gate City Bank Young Artists Performances “The Executive Director of the FM Opera travels to top opera schools, bringing groups of young professionals to Fargo from late January through April of each year. The Young Artists perform at schools and community events, and are featured in two FM Opera productions each year. Many of these young artists go on to perform on some of the largest opera stages in the world and it’s special that they got their first professional experiences right here in our community.”
FM Ballet’s “The Nutcracker” “Each year, the FM Ballet stages the classic Nutcracker with a blend of professional dancers and some of the best student dancers that the region has to offer. There is nothing more magical at Christmas time than this beautiful classic brought to life in our community.”
Red River Market “The Red River Market is the best of everything we have to offer in the FM Area! It’s a perfect example of what and who we are in this community—a display of commerce, ingenuity, entrepreneurial spirit, agriculture, hard work, talent, crafters, makers, musicians, food, and artists all coming together to share the best parts of our humanity. It’s inspiring to see so many people living their best lives by meeting the needs of others.”
