Ten-Minute Play fest seeks submissions, actors
- Published: November 20, 2025
Yellow Springs Theater Company is accepting submissions and actors for its annual Ten-Minute Play Festival, projected to be presented Feb. 13 and 14, 2026.
Though the festival has been held outdoors in early summer since 2021, the move to an indoor venue in late winter returns the festival to its pre-pandemic tradition.
Plays must be 10 minutes or less, and the submission deadline is Dec. 1. Playwrights should email their submissions to ystheatercompany@gmail.com, and include a statement about who they are, how they developed the idea for their play, and if they are able to be involved in casting and/or directing your work.
YS Theater Company’s goal is to help writers bring their work to an audience. At this time, the group is focusing on regionally based writers, who live within a three-hour drive of Yellow Springs.
The company is also looking for a variety of volunteer actors to cast in the upcoming festival. Those interested in performing are asked to email a picture of themselves, as well as a brief list of experience, or why you are interested in acting in Yellow Springs.
Contact ystheatercompany@gmail.com for more information on acting opportunities.
