Short+Sweet Theatre Illawarra 2021

**New Season Dates**

Short+Sweet kicks off its third season of bite-sized theatre, two programs featuring 23 original short plays which will be staged at the Bridge Street Theatre Coniston, home of the Phoenix Theatre Company.

Scripts written by Illawarra writers were favoured heavily by our directors, an impressive testimony to our local visionaries who were up against some of our best scripts submitted from around the world.

Our 2021 Top 20 Program has a strong representation of female artists in particular, with 13 directors and 12 writers leading the way in the festival this year.

Short+Sweet Perth 2021

Finally!  In  2021  the world's biggest little festival will hit the stage in Perth, Western Australia.   Not before time, Perth is going to unleash its immense talent, 10 minutes at a time! 

As an open access theatre festival, Short+Sweet Perth is bringing together a broad range of artists.  Professional performing artists will work alongside talented enthusiasts, as well as artists with experience and expertise in other artforms trying their hand at theatre.  And most importantly, it brings new audiences into the theatre as friends and family members of participants attend performances.  

Short+Sweet Perth will be at once local and international.  Plays have been submitted from all over the world, and the festival director has shortlisted approximately half of the festival’s content from local writers, and half from interstate and overseas.  Most actors and directors who participate will be from Perth and regional Western Australia, but everyone who can get here is welcome.

Short+Sweet Perth is presented in proud partnership with the Perth Theatre Trust, and will premier in 2021 at the Subiaco Arts Centre.

The Short+Sweet family is committed to building a more creative world, 10 minutes at a time. The platform provides an accessible and enjoyable theatrical experience to individuals from all walks of life, and gives them the opportunity to connect with creatives from all over the world.  Be part of it!
