A collection of new, short plays will be performed for the first time on any stage when the University of Alabama at Birmingham College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Theatre presents its 12th annual Festival of 10-Minute Plays from March 9-14.

Brevity is the soul of cutting-edge comedy and drama in this yearly festival of original work, all created within the Department of Theatre. Founded and produced by Assistant Professor Lee Shackleford, it is a rollercoaster theatrical experience audiences are certain to remember.
