Noosa Arts Theatre’s popular Shorts on Stage is back

SORTED - Ashlee Brewer and Melissa Long.

Noosa Arts Theatre’s popular Shorts on Stage will be on again next week with three shows only, on 18 and 19 February.

On Saturday 18, there are two shows, one at 2pm and another 7.30pm and the final performance will be at 2pm on Sunday 19 February.

As is normal custom on Sunday’s performance, they will have an adjudicator who, this year will be Rachel and Howie from Maverick Musicals and Plays.

They will give an award to the Best Play and also an award to The Best of Anything, this could be for a particular performer or director perhaps.

After the awards are announced they invite the audience to enjoy a slice of pizza and the bar will be open.

Now who can knock back free pizza?

The theatre’s Shorts program is on a little earlier this year due to a jam-packed schedule of great plays lined up for this year’s entertainment.

The Shorts program has eight plays all up, each with a 10 minute running time, so it’s a fab feast of bite-sized plays.

It’s a wonderful opportunity for emerging artists, writers, performers and directors to showcase their works.

Here’s some of the play descriptions to whet your appetite:

What does a 42 year old accountant living in England suddenly do when he realises life should be a tad more interesting?

We retrace Biblical times to see what happens to young Moses when placed in the river. We hear the conversation mum has with his older sister explaining!

A policeman is coming to terms with a domestic violence incident that he witnessed the previous evening.

What happens when a counsellor is way too invested in herself and not you?

Imagine this, an actress suffers a brain haemorrhage during a performance. How does she regain her health? Believe it or not this is a true story.

Can modern mankind live without the internet?

We are super excited to have Little Seed Theatre enter two plays again this year.

They won last year’s festival with The Secret Origin of Mojo Man starring Callum Johnston, Jack Miller and Naire McDonald with Callum bringing home the adjudicator award. One of their entries this year sounds very intriguing.

Two roommates Daniel and Liam who are bored with their existence decide to spice things up a bit. Daniel decides to become a clown in more ways than one.
