10 Minute Play Festival

Program Description

​

Established in 2012, our annual 10 Minute Play Festival is open to Latinx artists of all backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, genders and abilities. The Festival has 3-4 iterations per year (each lasting one month) so as to give emerging playwrights more opportunities to present their work.

Each iteration consists of 10 short plays that receive 12 performances during the month, and are attended by up to 1200 people. We do not charge any fees to participate. Instead, we compensate each creative team for their time and contribution.
