The 10-Minute Taste is a unique 10-Minute Play Festival and modern take on dinner theater. Instead of sitting through a full-length musical, or Shakespearean classic, 10-minute plays are presented while guests dine in a contemporary establishment. In keeping with our revitalized mission, our 3rd annual festival will only accept plays from women (includes transgender, non-binary, gender non-conforming) playwrights. It's a super fun night filled with music, dinner, drinks and great performances!

One playwright will be awarded the audience award of $150
One playwright will be awarded the judges award of $300
