One-act play underway

Deputy mayor Frank Wilkie was cheered on by Mayor Tony Wellington and Councillor Ingrid Jackson.

THE curtains have been raised for the 39th annual One-Act Play Festival as three plays go head to head to take out top spot in the long-standing competition.
With nearly 70 entries from across Australia, New Zealand, USA and Papua New Guinea, three playwrights have been chosen to premiere their work in the competition which takes place over the Noosa Long Weekend.
The prestigious competition offers an $8000 cash prize pool, including the Nimmo Prize of $5000, generously donated by Dr and Mrs Nimmo of Noosa.
The three plays showcased the best playwrights and top local actors including Noosa’s own deputy mayor Frank Wilkie who portrays a dangerous thug in Richard Harris’ Dead Loss.
Join Noosa Arts Theatre for an evening / matinee of short, sharp entertainment by three inspiring playwrights and vote for the Nancy Cato Audience Choice Award.
