CulturalDC’s Source Festival seeks 10-Minute Plays of any genre (comedy, drama, magical realism, etc.) that relate to one of the three themes listed below. The themes are inspired by the Festival's three Full-Length Plays. Summaries and information about these three plays can be found here.
- Mortality/Immortality: Seeking plays that address living forever or examine death from a fresh perspective
- Revenge: Seeking plays that address the need for retribution, large or small, comic or serious
- Quests: Seeking plays that address the compelling pull to go on a journey to accomplish a specific task
