Get ready to kickstart opening night of the High Performance Rodeo with a bang!

A perennial favourite, the Ten Minute Play Festival is our favourite way to celebrate opening night of the festival. Say goodbye to convention and dive headfirst into the uncharted waters of theatrical spontaneity. A sell-out event every year, witness Calgary's most fearless theatre troupes embrace the ultimate creative challenge: crafting a wholly original 10-minute play in just 24 hours, fuelled only by a prop and a single line of dialogue!

This challenge is not for the faint-of-heart; it's a gauntlet thrown down to those who dare to be different, those who revel in audacity, and those who thrive on the unexpected.
