10x10 Minute Play Event

10 New Plays, 100 Minutes of Great Theatre
Tuesday 29th November to Saturday 3rd December @ 8pm
“Our very popular short play event is back!”
It has been 3 long years since our last 10×10 Minute Play Event because of that pesky pandemic but the event is back stronger than ever! Booking is very brisk so we recommend you book early to avoid missing this very entertaining event.
The event has proved immensely popular with audiences and performers alike over the years and, once again, we will have ten mini-plays each evening with something to suit all tastes. Audiences will also get to vote for their favourite play of the evening which adds to the sense of occasion.
We are delighted to be able to say that this event has grown from its humble beginnings to become one of the most popular shows in our annual programme. There was huge interest again this year from writers both nationally and internationally with over 100 plays submitted. Our panel of readers are currently hard at work poring over all the entries and will eventually whittle these down to the final 10 plays to be staged. As in previous years, we are sure that the final ten plays will prove to be wonderful examples of what can be achieved on stage in a short space of time with a well-crafted script.
The event continues to be an important fund-raiser for the Cork Arts Theatre and it wouldn’t be possible without everyone giving of their time so generously. Our audiences, too, deserve our sincere thanks as, each year, they attend the event in great numbers, with most performances selling out!
We are looking forward to another week of great theatre with a wealth of fabulous Cork talent at, what we like to call, ‘The Little Theatre with a Big Heart’.”
