Future Ten

It’s time once again to submit your ten-minute plays for the seventh installment of Future Ten, our annual ten-minute play festival.  Future Ten 7 is scheduled to run at Future Tenant in early November.

 

Please visit http://f10.cuerate.org to submit up to two plays for consideration.

 

In order to be considered for production, scripts must be received in PDF format no later than Monday, June 21, 2010. If you are unsure how to convert your script to PDF, please use an online conversion tool like http://zamzar.com.

Other submission guidelines are as follows: 

  • Since the general rule is that one typewritten page of a play equals one minute of stage time, each play should be approximately ten pages in length.
  • Playwrights must submit their play in PDF format using our online submission process. Visit http://f10.cuerate.org to submit your play for consideration.
  • Writers may submit up to two (2) scripts; however, no more than one (1) play per writer has the possibility of being selected for production.
  • One-act or full-length plays, musicals, children’s plays, or plays that have been previously produced will not be considered.
  • Due to the limitations of our space, please craft your work to meet the following criteria: cast size – 2 to 10; set – basic chairs and tables; costumes – try to avoid costume changes; props – limited to a few items that you or your director must provide; lighting – full, dim and blackout are the only three light changes we can offer at this time. (NOTE: We will not necessarily rule out a quality script based on a production issue, but we may ask you to make changes in order for your work to meet the limitations of our space.)

 

A panel of judges will choose their favorite plays, and the selected playwrights will be notified by early September. Open casting will be held at Future Tenant in mid-September (dates TBA).
