Step into the spotlight of creativity at Hendersonville Theatre’s inaugural One Act Play Festival! This two-week extravaganza celebrates the art of storytelling through a dynamic lineup of short plays, showcasing a kaleidoscope of genres—from laugh-out-loud comedies to heartfelt dramas. Featuring original works by regional and national playwrights directed and performed by incredible local talent, the festival promises an unforgettable journey into the world of theatre.
The festival begins with an open call for submissions from across the country. After a meticulous selection, a team of readers will handpick a stellar lineup of plays to make their world premiere on our stage. Divided into two sections, Show A and Show B, these short gems are performed in rotation, offering audiences a diverse and impactful theatrical experience.
One-act plays are renowned for their intensity and focus, delivering powerful narratives in a condensed format. This unique approach demands precision and creativity from performers, resulting in captivating and memorable performances. The festival provides artists an unparalleled opportunity to showcase their versatility and innovation, fostering growth in acting, directing, and technical execution.
Beyond the stage, the One Act Play Festival creates a vibrant community for theatre enthusiasts. It’s a space for performers, directors, and audiences to exchange ideas, celebrate new works, and build connections. Adding to the excitement, audience members will play an active role in the festival by voting for the Best of Show, culminating in a thrilling competition to crown the audience favorite.
Join us at Hendersonville Theatre for an evening of exceptional storytelling, spirited performances, and a shared love for the craft of theatre. Don’t miss your chance to experience the One Act Play Festival's excitement, engagement, and inspiration!
