Rover Dramawerks announces the return of our annual 10-Minute Comedies Contest! We are seeking 10-minute comedies or farces to be a part of our 25th Anniversary Season. 

• Submissions will be accepted starting September 23 until 300 plays have been received.

• Only the first 300 10-minute plays will be accepted.

• Comedies only! No musicals. No dramas. No one-person plays.

• Plays may have been produced previously but not in the DFW Metroplex.

• Plays may not be published.

• Playwrights may submit only one 10-minute play. Additional plays submitted by a single person will result in disqualification.

• A cast list and brief synopsis must be included.

• Only PDF files will be accepted. Other formats will not be read.

• Any play longer than 12 pages will not be read.

• Name and contact info must not appear anywhere on the script (i.e. this is a blind submission process).

• There is no fee.

• Please do not submit a play you have sent to us in the past!

Up to ten plays will be chosen to be a part of Rover’s 10-Minute Comedies, June 5-21, 2025, with all winners receiving a $100 prize. The audience will also vote on the “Best of the Fest,” and that overall winner will receive an additional $100.

Rover Dramawerks performs in a black box theatre set in a thrust that seats about 100. Please take this into consideration when presenting your work to us. We strongly recommend that you check out our website at https://www.roverdramawerks.com/ to see the types of plays we generally produce.

 Please note: The judges reserve the right not to award prizes or productions if they feel the caliber of plays received does not warrant a winner.
