EverOut Recommended the 10MPF and labeled us as a "DON"T MISS" "Local theater lovers Monkey With a Hat On present this fast, fresh festival two or three times a year, sharing new ten-minute plays written, directed, and performed by Portland artists. Cheeky alt-indie outfit Junglecorp will perform a musical opera in between each play for the 34th installment of the beloved fest, which will follow a "nature" theme. Prepare for a rowdy, quick-paced evening of theater and tunes. The show promises "a singing tree on the edge of sanity, one man's fight against the weeds on his lawn, an adopted dog torn between his old pack and a new kitty friend," and much more inventive antics. by Lindsay Costello" /portland/events/the-nature-ten-minute-play-festival/e204902/
