Seventh Annual Veterans 10-Minute Play Festival

Seventh Annual Veterans 10-Minute Play Festival 2025

Join us for the seventh annual festival featuring the work of writers from across the United States. The goal of this festival is to cultivate a supportive environment for creative exploration in and around the varied experiences that surround the military. This festival uses theatre to begin a community conversation that builds bridges between the civilian and military worlds.

Each performance will be followed by a conversation with the audience, cast, directors and playwrights.
