Lake Macquarie One Act Play Festival

About the Show

The Lake Macquarie One Act Play Festival returns to Warners Bay Theatre on Saturday 28 March 2026! Now in its fourth year, the One Act Play Festival is an annual theatre competition featuring twelve original one‑act plays written and submitted by local Hunter, national, and international playwrights. After a dedicated rehearsal period, these new works are brought to life on the Warners Bay Theatre stage by local performing artists under the direction of Festival Director Charlotte De Wit. Be taken on a rollercoaster ride as the plays explore contemporary themes that will make you laugh, cry, and challenge your perspective. Join us for an unforgettable day of live theatre!
