Events Calendar

Remarkable Theatre Queenstown is once again running their Pint-Size Play writing competition.

This is our third year of competition and the event has gone from strength to strength.

Last year we had over 70 entries from all over the world. The winner of the competition ‘Fag Butt in the Fish Bowl’ was submitted from Wales.

We are always looking for local scripts to be entered alongside the international entries that we receive.

This is a great opportunity for writers at any stage of their career to have a go, and see their work on stage.

The short listed plays are performed in both Wanaka and Queenstown.

PINT–SIZE PLAYS   Short play WRITING COMPETITION 2014

If it is funny - If it is sad - If it is original – it could be a winner.

We are looking for original scripts, lasting from 5 – 10 minutes.

The most interesting, funny, surprising, dramatic, or outrageous plays, are being sought, to entertain and delight.                                                                                                                                    Your play will be performed in a bar, using the tables and chairs, props and space readily available.

All entries will be judged on their originality and entertainment value, and short listed to a maximum of ten.                                                                                                                            These ten plays will be performed in front of a live audience,        at the Queenstown SKYCITY Casino.

Begun in Tenby, Wales in 2008, Pint-sized plays has quickly become established as a premier international competition for short plays.                                        

Remarkable Theatre, Queenstown launched ‘Pint-size plays NZ’ in 2012, to encourage new writing and introduce a new audience to the entertainment of live theatre.

The winner will gain automatic entry to the Welsh competition the following year, so your play could be seen on the other side of the world.
