RULES:
- Discriminatory themes or language will not be tolerated.
- Please don't make a mess on our stage, and use common safety sense when developing your concept.
- Be ready to perform it twice in the same night. If you make it to the final round, you get to do it all over again!

BACKGROUND:
The One Minute Play Festival is the brainchild of Paul Crawford who has been hosting this annual event for over 20 years as a core element of the Arts Wells Festival. Drawing inspiration from 'skit-night at summer camp' Paul brought to life a raucous, often off-the-cuff, many times brilliant collection of performers and ideas. Tempest is honoured to host it again at this year's Ignite the Arts Festival in Penticton.
WHO CAN ENTER:
Anyone! Just submit your script in advance and once approved, cast your show & start rehearsing.
