Fells Point Corner Theatre is seeking original 10-minute plays by Baltimore area playwrights for our critically acclaimed play festival 10x10x10. The 10x10x10 play festival has turned into a staple of local theatre in Baltimore, becoming one of the highest selling productions at Fells Point Corner Theatre for the last several years.

As is tradition with our 10x10x10 festival, we will collect audience votes at the end of each performance. The top play, by the accumulation of votes, will be awarded an Audience Selection Award in the form of a cash prize of $150. That's 10 TIMES the price of admission! Second and third place finishers will also receive a cash prize award. See festival rules and guidelines below for more information.

The 10x10x10 festival will open on Friday, May 24, 2019 and run through Sunday, June 16, 2019. Performances will take place on our Godfrey Stage on the first floor. Performances will be held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm and Sunday afternoons at 2:00pm.
