Whats the Festival of One Act Plays?
A. Our Festival of One Act Plays is a competitive festival for plays of a maximum duration of 45 minutes, and is open to any theatrical group in the area. We generally have about a dozen plays entered by various groups, be they adult, youth or junior organisations. The festival runs for three or four nights, and will see different plays performed on each night. The plays are adjudicated there and then by our guest adjudicator, and at the end of the festival he or she makes the following awards: • Best Production (Senior, Youth and Junior) • Best Individual Performance (Senior, Youth and Junior) • The Adjudicator’s Award • The Syd Mence Cup for a Piece of Theatre Magic The festival always offers a great variety of theatre and is well worth attending. We are very proud of our festival, which has been running for many years and is known to the drama groups in the area as ‘The Friendly Festival’.
