The South Burnett’s exciting annual festival of short plays is on again this weekend at the Nanango Cultural Centre!<\/p>\n

The Nanango Theatre Company is hosting three days of short plays – a total of 15 different works – from Friday night to Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

The fourth annual Heritage NananGO PLAYfest features plays presented by visiting theatre troupes as well as productions – including some debut performances – by local thespians.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among the local actors who have been working hard ahead of the weekend are the youngsters from the South Burnett Performing Arts Academy.<\/p>\n

The Academy, which is headed by Stephanie Wimpenny, was set up last year to create more opportunities for young people to express their creativity through music, dance and drama.<\/p>\n

The participants practise twice a week, on Mondays at Blackbutt Memorial Hall and on Thursdays at the Nanango Theatre Company.<\/p>\n

They have two short plays scheduled for the PLAYfest weekend – “CONsumed” and “Stone Soup” – both of which will\u00a0 make their debut on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the Heritage NananGO PLAYfest can be booked online<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cost is $10 per person per session or a three-day pass for $40\u00a0 ($100 for a family pass).<\/p>\n

A bar and catering will be open all weekend, and a three-course dinner will be available on Saturday night for $30.<\/p>\n
