Evolution Theatre is proud to shoulder the mantle of the 10-Minute Play Festival, successfully presented from 2012 to 2016 by New Theatre of Ottawa.

The play can be performed by between 1 and 5 actors
There is no restriction on style however, production aesthetics will be minimal
Plays may be written in English or French.

The deadline for entries is: March 31, 2018.
