Call it the return of short attention span theatre, if you like, but from the romantic to the risqué there’s something for everyone in the Diez Minutos: San Miguel International Ten-Minute Play Festival. Produced by Michael Hager and Mark Saunders, this fully-staged festival is in English, and takes place in mid-March at the international arts center of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico — a World Heritage Site brimming with charm, history, and culture.

Each year a different theme is chosen and playwrights from around the globe submit their work hopng their play will be produced and performed by world-class actors. The theme for the second annual festival was: Sex Lies & Alibis. The theme for the third annual festival was: Lost In Translations.

If you’d like more details about the festival or guidelines for submitting your play, please write to: diezminutosfestival@yahoo.com
