Eight 10s in Tucson is Winding Road Theatre’s annual festival of short plays—an evening of bold, fast-paced storytelling featuring eight original ten-minute works that span style, tone, and perspective. The result is a dynamic mix of voices—on the page, on the stage, and behind the scenes—where new ideas and fresh perspectives take center stage.
This year, we’re proud to collaborate with Live Theatre Workshop, The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre, and Pima Community College Theatre Arts, with artists from each organization directing across the festival. By bringing together seasoned professionals and emerging student artists, Eight 10s becomes more than a performance—it’s a shared creative effort that celebrates mentorship, connection, and the strength of Tucson’s theatre community. |
I fell in love with the 10-minute play format through the “8 10s at Eight” festival in Santa Cruz, California. It offers great variety to audience members, sort of like live action Tik Tok videos - a little something for every taste. A 10-minute play is also good for playwrights, forcing them to find the most concise way possible to tell their story. When I arrived in Tucson, I just knew this community would respond well to this festival, and I’m extremely happy to see its return." - Chad Davies, Member Emeritus, 2025
