What people have said over the years
It was some of the best theatre I’d seen in Toronto in a very long time. I feel like I witnessed something quite special and look forward to next year’s event. I’d never attended at 10 minute play festival before. I just love the format. The actors, sets, screen displays, lighting were top notch. —Helene Paquin
What I saw that evening was much more than a collection of individual ten-minute plays in one show — it felt like a full length play – with rising action, turning point and resolution. —Elaine Romero
The range of talent was astonishing! Each ten-minute play was a wonderful slice of theatre, bursting with all the energy and heart of a full-length play. —Ann McDougall
I hope to watch many new faces pass through this festival in years to come. —Natalie Feheregyhazi
Amazing to bite into the complexities playwrights plum in a mere ten minutes, and the staging was simply superlative. —Lavonne McCumber Eals
It was a thrill to be involved in InspiraTO! Not only did I get to see my play “Campfire Stories” performed for the first time, it was in front of a large, appreciative audience. Plus, I was not only entertained by all the other plays, I was INSPIRED. So much so that I’ve already started working on a play to submit to next year’s festival — the experience was so rewarding, I want to repeat it. —Keith Davidson
I didn’t know what to expect upon attending the inspiraTO Festival as a playwright, but it was all I could have hoped for and more. It was like the Director and Actors reached into my brain and created exactly what I imagined my play should be. Beyond my own play, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of professionalism and production quality of the festival, as a whole. No one is doing what inspiraTO does. —Amanda Healy
Amazing!! My family and I are visiting Toronto from the U.S. on vacation, and this has been my favorite thing that we’ve done in Toronto. It is so invigorating and refreshing to see such a plethora of work from emerging artists. What an excellent tradition. Thank you!! —Kessler Catterall
Talented and prolific performances. Only 10 minutes, yet great plays with much insight into today’s life. —Georgina Benasik
Very entertaining. A great idea. —Deedre Edelstein
