The award ceremony will be held on the final day after the judging process is finalised and the plays have had their moment to express their creative talents and given the well-deserved exposure for their craft.

When the state has put their effort and planning into giving a platform for the local theatre scene, the call to expand the art will be answered by those who have honed their work into developing the industry especially when there is opportunity to appeal to the public as well as realising the skill that our writers, directors and actors can offer. And it is the part of the audience to also give these productions a chance into their lives by attendance and appreciation so don’t miss out the shows that are still ongoing until 21st October!
