Twelve Minute Play Festival with 'A DILEMMA' as the theme at Creswick Theatre Company

Twelve Minute Play Festival with A Dilemma and use or mention of a card or cards

Our Twelve Minute Play Festival was a highlight in Creswick in 2025. The vision behind this festival was to allow as many fresh voices as possible to write a play, and to offer a selection of these to be brought from the page to the stage, with the goal of having our community see a small slice of their own lives on stage, to make us wonder, to bring us laughter, hope, and tears.

Each of the twelve selected plays will be performed on all three performance dates. Audiences will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite play, and the selected play will be announced on Sunday, 3rd May 2026
