ONE YELLOW RABBIT PRESENTS THE TEN MINUTE PLAY FESTIVAL
CURATED BY KELLY REAY AS PART OF THE 40TH ANNUAL HIGH PERFORMANCE RODEO

Buckle up for a rapid-fire night of storytelling where every second counts. This is a high-octane showcase of brand-new short plays — bold ideas, wild characters and emotional punches, all packed into just ten minutes each.

Expect surprises, laughter, gut-punches and plot twists galore as some of Calgary’s sharpest writers, performers and directors deliver stories that hit hard and fast. One moment you'll be laughing out loud, the next you're on the edge of your seat. All the activity is inspired by a single prop and only 24 hours to prepare.

Whether you're a theatre junkie or just dipping a toe in, this is your chance to see more stories in one night than most festivals deliver in a week.

Come for the chaos. Stay for the creativity.
