Hello fellow Performers,
We’re back for the 9th annual season of Star Theatres’ October Festival. Would you or someone you know like to be part of it?
The Back2Back Short Show Festival is SA’s purely local performers/producers theatre festival, at the home of live local theatre, Star Theatres One & Two.
Over the last 8 years we had 105 different shows giving 380 performances over two 3 day weekends, and we can do more!
The Back2Back Short Show Festival spans the last 2 weekends of October and utilises Star Theatres’ two venues. We envisage back to back shows so the audience can see a 60-70 minute performance and then see another show 20 minutes later, making a complete night out. We have also confirmed take-away style food will be available between shows from the restaurant 'Schnithouse' opposite the theatre.
We have had a delightful response from everyone involved the last 8 years and now it’s your chance to be part of the festival. A show session on both weekends is advised, as the first show will help sell the following.
Below you’ll find the performance time slots and a table with your possible projected income based on full or ½ houses.
Star Theatres will provide:
Your commitment:
If you have any questions please phone 0417778118
We’d love to have your show in the Back 2 Back Short Show Festival.
Regards,

Star Theatres will provide:
- All art work and posters, website and Facebook support, and the print and delivery of B2B posters throughout the city.

- A detailed print out of your sales income.
- General overall promotions to prospective audiences.
Your commitment:
- Your show of no more than 70 minutes (with a minimum of 50 minutes) as there will be parallel start and finish times in both venues.
- Whatever you need to make it happen.
- Availability to attend your free rehearsal period of up to 2 hours.
- Your own promotions to personal audiences (the more tickets you sell the more you make).

We are also offering a 2 show ticket deal for $65, which includes a free drink between shows at Star theatres expense. The above are just estimations of final income based on full price tickets.
We are also suggesting a 2 show minimum, over the 2 weeks, so the first show helps sell the next.
