Manly Theatre Group is proud to announce the Manly Festival of Short Plays 2023. 

From 6pm, there will be performances from the Northern Beaches Youth Theatre or live musical entertainment in the Courtyard. From 7pm, we are showcasing 13 original scripts performed across 2 weeks in the Darley Smith Theatre. Late arrivals are not guaranteed entry, however we can try to seat you in-between plays. 

This is a free, ticketed event for the community. Manly Theatre Group is a registered charity with an aim to make theatre more affordable and accessible. Any donations are well received and will go towards future productions and workshops.
