2nd Annual Local Playwrights
10-Minute Play Festival
Feb 6, 7, 8, 2026
The deadline for entries for the Second Annual Local Playwrights’ Festival of 10-minute Plays has passed. Eight entries will be selected for February 2026 performances. We will post the winning shows and playwrights here once they have been chosen.
PURPOSE: The purpose of the Festival is threefold. First, to showcase talented playwrights living in our greater area. Second, to connect local playwrights with theatres. Third, to benefit BTC’s Capital Campaign drive. No royalties or director stipends are offered for these plays. No monetary awards are offered to those plays selected. All proceeds go to the capital campaign.
​
Performance Dates: The first full weekend in February. Friday and Saturday evening and Sunday matinee, February 6-7-8, 2026.
Performance Format: There will be 2 Acts, with each Act having four 10-minute plays. Three plays would be set in advance, with a few minutes to set the fourth play. With introductions and announcements, plan 50 minutes for each act. The second Act would be set during intermission.
We'll see you in February.
