Merit Theater and Film Group & 13th Street Repertory Company have, for the past six years, held a summer internship program for between 25-40 interns from all over the world.� Each year the interns create and produce their own show.� This year, we are proud to present the Platypi 10 Minute Play Festival, featuring current Yalie Jerry Lieblich and Yale Alumnus Eugene Ashton-Gonzalez.� The plays in the show were created in Terrence Patrick Hughes' Playwriting Workshop.

Why Platypi?� The platypus is a duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed egg-laying mammal!� It appears to be many different animals blended together to create something rare.� We have done the same by taking 10 very different plays and creating an exceptionally unique festival.

TICKETS: Adults - $18; Seniors $15; Students $15
