The Short + Sweet theatre festival began in Sydney 13 years ago and their recent festival showcased 170 plays.
“Short +Sweet, Hobart is about showcasing local writers, directors + actors from all ranges of experience” says festival director Ros Peck. “The emphasis in on being involved and anyone can have a go, we’ll have loads of fun and offer support and mentorship where needed.”
“S+S festivals occur in 22 cities in 7 countries around the world and all play submissions are included in the 2014 S+S library for production in any festival around the world” Peck says “The opportunities are enormous.”
Not just another one act play festival…. here’s how the season looks…
There are the ‘Top 20 plays’ which have a 4 night run,10 one week (Prog 1), 10 the next, (Prog2) and for the 10 more “out there” pieces we have a wildcard program which has 2 performances. The final night of the festival is the “GALA” comprising of the judges and people choices from all programs, ending the evening announcing the awards and giving out the prizes.
Submissions for scripts, actors and directors are now open until June 10.
