Welcome to the Short+Sweet New Director's Program. Over two weekends in August, you’ll learn some of the basic skills required to direct a play and get valuable hands-on experience working with scripts, actors and writers. You’ll also have the opportunity to get a reserved slot in the 2019 Short+Sweet Festival (Sydney).
We are proud to announce the first batch of plays that will light up the stage at the very first Short+Sweet Illawarra – the newest addition to the world’s largest little play festival.
The first plays to make the cut are our Independent Theatre Company’s, which come from both established and brand new theatre groups in the Illawarra, and as far down the coast as Pambula!
It is our honour to introduce successful ITC productions into Short+Sweet Illawarra 2018:
