Be part of this excellent One Act Play Festival

Why? - because the GMDF One Act Play Festival is quite simply the "Go To" Festival when it come to taking part in a competitive One Act Festival. This is always a great week’s theatre with a wide array of awards across two youth sections, an adult section and an original play section – something for everyone.  

The One Act Play Festival 2026 will be held at Players Theatre SK8 5EX as part of their centenary celebrations. You will find us very well organised and friendly, so don't be shy, factor this Play Festival into your season!

A competitive One Act Play Festival is a valuable arena for budding playwrights and Directors to cut their teeth as well as a brilliant challenge for cast who have never experienced performing in a One Act Play Festival before.

Full details of how the North West's première One Act Play Festival works are here.

This is an open Festival and we welcome all applications. We look forward to hearing from you.
