When next summer comes around there are two things you can count on—Heartland Theatre’s long-running annual 10-minute Play Festival and people having sales to get rid of stuff. In 2025, Heartland brings these summertime staples together on stage for “The Rummage Sale”.
We’re inviting playwrights to send us short plays that answer a simple question–if one person’s trash is another person’s treasure, what happens when those people come together? Well, that’s for playwrights all over the world to figure out. The Rummage Sale—Heartland Theatre’s 10-minute Play Festival for 2025. Now we’re accepting scripts and we’re looking forward to reading yours.
DEADLINE: February 1, 2025
PERFORMANCES: May 29,30,31 & June 5,6,7,8 | 12,13,14 – 2025
