Would you like to be a 2024 Festival Sponsor?
We could not bring this Festival to the stage without the generous support of our community. Being a sponsor is easy and rewarding. Anyone can do it!

What is a One Act Play Festival?
Each year, across South East Queensland, there is a flurry of thespian activity as small and large theatre groups select a one-act play, audition and cast the required actors and rehearse intently to create the very best possible production of that play.
Each Festival hosts an average of 15 – 20 plays across intermediate or open sections, with a wide range of awards available to be won. Every Festival chooses an Adjudicator to judge the entries, with the awards session always a highly anticipated event.
Festivals are held as far away as Dalby, south to Beenleigh and north to the Sunshine Coast with the season running from June to September. Some plays are entered into all Festivals, some only to one or two, but regardless of the number all speak of the fun, friendliness and rewards that are gained.
For 68 years now, we have welcomed theatre groups from around the state and country to compete in our One Act Play Festival. On the weekend of 9-11 August 2024, Ipswich Little Theatre will once again host one of the longest-running festivals of its type in Australia (and the Southern Hemisphere – for that matter).
We are proud that our Festival has a reputation of being one of the friendliest and best organised on the South East Queensland Theatre Festival circuit and hope to welcome you as an entrant or patron this year.
