Short+Sweet. Not Shortland Street.

Short+Sweet New Zealand brings you festivals of ten minute theatre, dance and song. The Short+Sweet Festival Auckland presents a 4 week season featuring over 35 plays, 40 dance pieces and 10 short musicals. Each rendition of the festival features the collaboration of over 50 directors, 40 playwrights, 40 choreographers, 10 composers and close to 300 performers… all volunteers!

A night at Short+Sweet consists of the audience seeing ten pieces, each of which is no longer than ten-minutes. It is a night in the theatre where you never quite know what is coming next. You are presented with a feast of styles and subjects, and the next piece is only ever ten minutes away. At the end the audience are asked to vote for their favourite prompting the show to conclude with a foyer filled with discussion and debate.

We are super excited to kick of this 6th season of the Short+Sweet Festival Auckland and our 1st season of Short+Sweet Wellington!

The Festival always brings together a melting pot of professional, emerging and recreational artists in one place and this year we want to encourage you to work with new people or try something you haven’t done before.

S+S Sydney is separated into two divisions: the Top 80 and the Wildcards. Each week our informed Judges select the winner of the Top 80 to enter the Gala Finals, along with the People's Choice Winner and Wildcards winner as determined through our finals series. Now, with the top 12 plays, plus one special invitation, included in the Gala Finals, the best of the entire season will be presented on the Factory Theatre stage in two incredible nights.

Gala Finalists are in the running for a wide range of prizes and awards including; Best Production, Best Script, Best Director, Best Actor/Actress, Best Newcomer etc. With some great prizes on offer including make-up tutorials, vouchers, theatre tickets, lighting services, and the incredibly generous prize from the Genocchio Famiy, in honour of their son, the first Artistic Co-ordinator of Short+Sweet, Sam Genocchio, of $5000 cash for the winner of Best Director.

Just two incredible nights of performance before we announce the winners for Short+Sweet Sydney 2015!
