Manly Festival of Short Plays 2024

Manly Theatre Group is excited to invite you to the Manly Festival of Short Plays 2024.

Each year, Manly Theatre Group encourages the local community to write 10 minute plays to be performed by our actors on our Manly stage, supported by directors and crew. The Festival has been sold out to a full house every night since we began in 2022. You can check out pictures and plays in the Gallery.

The plays contain adult themes including strong language and therefore recommended for audiences 15+ years. 

Manly Theatre Group is a registered not-for-profit charity and a growing community of over 850 locals. Our goal is to ensure access to the arts is affordable and accessible by creating opportunities for Northern Beaches residents to become involved in theatre, regardless of background or experience. We rely on funding to cover our costs and appreciate any optional donation when you order your ticket.

If you are inspired to join us as an actor, writer or crew please check out our website or come along to our next event! www.manlytheatregroup.com.
