The 10 Minute Play Festival is BACK in 2026!

The 10 Minute Play Festival is one of the most exciting, creative, and collaborative events of the year!


What is a 10 Minute Play Festival?

A 10 Minute Play Festival is exactly what it sounds like — a collection of short plays (each about 10 minutes long) performed in one evening. Instead of one full-length show, the audience experiences several completely different stories in a single performance.

  • ✨ Different casts
  • ✨ Different directors
  • ✨ Different playwrights
  • ✨ Different styles — comedy, drama, heartfelt, hilarious, powerful

Because the plays are short:

  1. Rehearsals are manageable
  2. Memorization is easier
  3. The time commitment is lighter
  4. And the impact is HUGE

It’s an incredible opportunity for:

  1. 🎭 Actors to shine in meaningful roles
  2. 🎬 Directors to lead their own production
  3. ✍️ Playwrights to see their original work come to life
