Hello fellow Performers,
We’re back for the 11th 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 10 years we had 120 different shows giving 450 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. Take away style food is also available in several locations near the theatre.
We have had a delightful response from everyone involved the last 10 years and now it’s your chance to be part of the festival. A show session on both weekendsis 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:
