Since 2009, CVLT’s 10-10 Festival of New Plays has been a biennial hit at the River Street Playhouse, where the Little Theatre produces ten 10-minute plays by writers from around the world.

In 2018 the Theatre launched its first ever 10-10 Festival: Young Playwrights Edition and featured one-acts written by students from across the country. The festival returns for a second time this season.

• CVLT reserves the right to choose directors for each play. You may not direct your own production.
