Short+Sweet Perth is an open access competitive festival of 10 minute plays. We bring together a broad range of artists - professional performing artists working alongside talented enthusiasts, as well as artists with experience and expertise in other artforms trying their hand at theatre.
We commence with a series of heats and finish with finals comprising the top 10 plays as voted by our audiences and assessed by industry judges. It is great theatre for participants and audiences.
We are looking for writers, directors and actors, either independently or as part of a local theatre company. You can bring your own script, or we will provide you a selection to choose from our library of phenomenal local and international scripts.
Short+Sweet Perth is presented in proud partnership with the Perth Theatre Trust.
The Short+Sweet family is committed to building a more creative world, 10 minutes at a time.
