The range of talent was astonishing! Each ten-minute play was a wonderful slice of theatre, bursting with all the energy and heart of a full-length play." - Ann McDougall

A fantastic microcosm of theatre!

The 6th Annual InspiraTO Playwriting Contest is Now Open    

Write a ten-minute play!

Each year the InspiraTO Festival produces ten-minute plays based on the theme of the senses.  This season we will be producing 16 ten-minute plays on the theme of "sound".   Be one of the playwrights selected. The plays will be produced in early June 2011 in Toronto, Canada (Alumnae Theatre, Mainstage) with a 1st prize winner.
