The Very Useful Theatre Company with the support of the Rotary Club of Newmarket produce the annual Newmarket International Festival of One Act Plays at the Old Town Hall in Newmarket. The festival shares some of the proceeds with local charities. 2020 was to have been the 4th annual one act play festival but it’s been rescheduled to May 2021. Plays from playwrights around the world have been submitted, some world premiere’s and the festival is rapidly gaining attention from playwrights as far away as Australia and Unite Kingdom.
Description
Our need for volunteers is board members and stage hands (students can earn community volunteer credits) and people with ideas. As Tyrone Guthrie the well-known English director said “We are looking for Ideas large enough to be afraid of again” . The festival web site is www.oneactplayfestival.com
