Short+Sweet Cabaret & Theatre QLD Festival
Short and Sweet Theatre presents
Short+Sweet Theatre & Cabaret QLD Festival

9 Aug 2014 to 28 Sep 2014

For an exciting fourth year, SHORT+SWEET is back!

With a new intake of scripts, SHORT+SWEET 2014 will see any night turn from violent drama to spectacular dance; side splitting comedy to enchanting song.

This year’s SHORT+SWEET Drama on the Gold Coast will feature eight new plays from around the world, all performed by local artists, while the Cabaret on the Gold Coast will feature 13 original cabaret acts to tease, delight, and carry your night away.

Then at the Brisbane Powerhouse, there will be over 40 local works of theatre and late night cabaret!

See up to ten plays or six cabaret acts at once, then vote for your favourite to send them through to the gala final.

SHORT+SWEET promises to make you laugh, cry, tremble, weep and hit you when you least expect it.

Welcome to the world of SHORT+SWEET - a more creative world ten minutes at a time.
