The Pumphouse Theatre and Alberta Drama Festival Association have returned for the 37th Annual Calgary Region One-Act Play Festival. Over four evenings, from March 16th-18th, we are thrilled to be presenting eight one-act plays from a diverse array of local artists. From drama to comedy, new work to classics, the One Act Play Festival offers something for everyone.
Each night will feature a new group of two performances, all which will run under sixty minutes in length. After the shows are completed, the audience is encouraged to stay for our festival adjudicator’s public adjudication. An award ceremony will take place on Saturday March 19th where our festival adjudicator will decide the recipients of the Calgary Region Awards including Outstanding Actor, Outstanding Direction, Outstanding Technical Merit, Outstanding New Work, and Outstanding Production. The recipient of this last award will represent the Calgary Region at the Provincial Festival happening in May in Canmore, AB.
Come see some of Calgary's most passionate up and coming theatre artists. Come take in a night of great entertainment while supporting local performing arts!
