Director: Marley Herckner
Marley is beyond thrilled to be rejoining the 10 Minute Play Festival this year, but in the capacity of director. Since she was in Kindergarten, she’s been surrounded by and enjoyed theater. She quickly realized she loved directing, and helping actors shine their brightest. In university, she chose to minor in theater. She spent her time learning all aspects of theater, from directing, to acting, to tech. This will be her first directing experience since moving to Seoul, but she’s confident that her passion for a beautiful stage will show.
