Eight 10s in Tucson
A Ten-minute Play Festival
​

“Eight 10s in Tucson” is a short-play festival consisting of eight 10-minute plays, selected from scripts solicited nationwide through a “blind” selection process. All 8 selected plays are produced and staged to appear in a single evening’s performance each night of the festival’s production run.

​This is a great opportunity for Tucson actors. We're looking to have a cast of 8 to 10 performing multiple roles. We are also looking for new directors to showcase their talent. 

Final cast and director selection to be completed in September, 2025.

The production will run three successive weekends starting Friday, January 16 through Sunday, February 1, 2026.
