Sources of Information
- Work cat.: Take ten II: more ten-minute plays, c2003:t.p.; p. vii (In the more than 25 years since the Actors Theater of Louisville announced its first Ten-Minute Play Contest, the ten-minute play has evolved from a novelty item to a vital new force in American theatre)
- Writing the award-winning play, 2003:p. 22 (for ten minute: this is a very short one act, usually running 10-12 pages)
- Young playwrights 101, c2005:p. 6 (ten-minute plays, the haiku of the playwrighting world; once you write a few ten-minute plays, you can write a one-act play of more substantial length)
- The complete idiot's guide to comedy writing, 2004:p. 263 (the ten-minute play, an extremely truncated version of the one-act format; you tell a complete story in about 10 minutes, using a very small number of costumes, sets and props)
- "Simple pleasures: the ten-minute play, overnight theatre, and the decline of the art of storytelling" New theatre quarterly:Vol. 19, pt. 1 (Feb. 2003) p. 67 (the ten-minute play is burgeoning in the United States, yet it has received little critical attention; the ten-minute play and its cousin, the "overnight play) p. 68 (just about every American dramatist seems to be writing ten-minute plays these days; effective short plays can be fun to watch; an evening of ten-minute plays is similar to variety theatre, since there is rarely any narrative thread or voice to hold the programme together)
