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.”
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.
