Mighty Corson 10-Minute Play Festival!

The Mighty Corson Art Players are excited to announce our first-ever 10-minute play festival! We are seeking new, unproduced 10-minute plays, written to our theme, for performances in May 2027.

Our 2027 festival theme is: In the Library!

Our timeline is as follows:

Submissions open August 1st, 2026

Submissions close December 1st, 2026

Semi-finalists will be selected in February 2027

Final play selections will be made in March 2027

Performances will occur May 21-23, 2027

Submission guidelines:

  • Plays must be new, unproduced, and written to the festival theme to be considered.

  • Plays must not contain any information identifying the playwright (name, email, etc.). This is a blind review process.

  • Plays must be submitted in the prescribed format (see below) and must be no longer than 10 pages.

  • Plays must be ready to be performed as written.

  • Plays must contain at least two (2) and no more than five (5) characters. Characters must be able to be portrayed by actors ages 18-60.

  • Plays must consist primarily of dialogue, not monologues. 

  • MCAP is a black-box, proscenium-style theater. Plays must be suitable for production in this space.

  • By submitting a play, playwrights give MCAP the rights to produce the play as they see fit. Playwrights will not be involved in the production process. 

  • Plays that are accepted and produced will be videotaped for archival purposes.

  • No compensation or additional contracts will be provided for winning plays.

  • Only one entry will be accepted from each playwright.

Please check back here on or after August 1st when submissions open for a link to submit your work! Happy writing!
