(PERFORMANCE DATES: May 20 to May 25 2024 at 7.45pm. Shows on alternate days. Mon/Wed/Fri or Tues/Thurs/Sat.
The cornerHOUSE oneACTS play festival is now in its 15th year.
The oneACTS is not just about great, original playwriting; it is about encouraging everyone to get involved in all aspects of theatre. Anyone can enter a play, volunteer to direct or produce, audition to act or become part of the backstage or front of house crew.
The festival celebrates new playwriting and takes a script from page to stage. It is also an opportunity for new directors to try their hand at a short play in a supportive environment, or a more experienced one to hone their craft.
The oneACTS provides numerous acting opportunities, without the heavy commitment of being in a full-length play.
Volunteers organise the festival, build the sets, work on the sound and lighting, help backstage, assist with wardrobe and props… the list goes on!
The cornerHOUSE is a very open environment which actively welcomes and involves all newcomers. So if you’d like to get involved in the oneACTS, in any capacity whatsoever, do get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!
All writers/directors/producers/actors and those interested in being part of the crew should email cornerhouseoneacts@gmail.com
