Description
ONE BENCH. TWO ACTORS. TEN MINUTES.
Bennett Day Theater is proud to present Ten Minutes on a Bench by Kenneth Jones. This clever romantic comedy takes on the unique format of a "vignette play"—a series of unrelated stories woven together by a single location and a common theme: the high-stakes world of the first date.
The Ultimate Acting Challenge Our students are stepping into the spotlight for their most demanding performance yet. In these intimate two-person scenes, there is nowhere to hide. Each pair must carry up to ten minutes of continuous, smart, and fast-paced dialogue, showcasing the raw "acting chops" they’ve worked all season to sharpen.
A Story for Everyone The script is a beautiful blend of poignant connection and laugh-out-loud humor. While the show is appropriate for all ages, the engaging pacing is especially recommended for theater-goers ages 7 and up.
