I.T. TEN-MINUTE PLAY FESTIVAL

ANNUAL SHOWCASE OF ORIGINAL PLAYS BY LOCAL AUTHORS

Every August, Island Theatre presents FESTIVAL WEEK – a weeklong celebration of ten-minute plays, playwrights, and play writing.


The centerpiece of FESTIVAL WEEK is the Ten-Minute Play Festival – a juried selection of plays by Kitsap County playwrights—both established and aspiring. The winning plays are fully staged and performed at Bainbridge Performing Arts in both evening and matinee performances. 


The deadline for play submissions each year is Valentine's Day, February 14th. Sign up for our mailing list below to receive notifications.


Shortly before the Festival, we invite you to come Meet the Playwrights behind the plays. This free panel discussion and Q&A is held each year at the Bainbridge Public Library.

Join our mailing list to learn about the Ten-Minute Play Festival and other Island Theatre events.
