10 Minute Play Festival Tickets

10 Minute Play Festival Show Tickets

You can see the best short plays from around the world with your purchase of 10 Minute Play Festival tickets. Every year, the Durango Arts Center (DAC) sends out a worldwide invitation to playwrights to submit 10-minute plays. A panel of judges reads all the plays and chooses the top ten finalists to be performed at another reading where they will receive votes. The ones with the most votes are produced by local actors at the DAC’s annual festival in the fall.

In 2022, five plays made it to the top and were chosen for production. There Goes The Neighborhood by Marjorie Williamson won the grand prize. Other Priorities by Leslie Sanderson came in second. They were followed by For Better, For Worse by Dan Borengasser, An Hour’s Worth by Carl Williams and She’ll Have What He’s Having by Stephen Stewart. By getting 10 Minute Play Festival tickets, you can support the creativity of modern playwrights and enjoy watching original performances.

The concept of 10-minute plays was brought to life in 1977 by the Actors Theatre of Louisville. It was called the “haiku of the American stage” and featured in the Humana Festival of New American Plays. Since then, they have become a popular, entertaining genre for both playwrights and audiences.
