Festival of Ten XIV
The Department of Theatre and Music Studies at SUNY Brockport is pleased to announce its 14th Biennial Festival of Ten-Minute Plays.
Brockport’s Festival of Ten began in 1999, and every two years since then audiences have enjoyed these performances consisting of 10 ten-minute plays. Our Festival of Ten has grown over the years and now has an International reputation, with playwrights from as far away as Australia. For each festival we accept 500 submissions, ultimately selecting ten to produce. Plays can be submitted beginning February 1, 2024, until March 15, 2024, or until we reach 500 submissions.
