Now a beloved annual tradition, the Waiheke Short Play Festival brings together the vibrant heart of our island’s creative community for a truly special 3 nights of theatre.

Warm up your winter by coming in out of the cold and enjoying the warm and intimate Artworks Theatre. This very special festival showcases a dynamic collection of original short plays—each running between 15 to 25 minutes—written, directed, and performed by talented Waiheke locals.

Over the years, the festival has grown in both scope and spirit, becoming a much-anticipated highlight of our annual calendar. Audiences return year after year not only to be entertained but to support emerging and established artists alike—many of whom are debuting their work on stage for the very first time. Every play is a testament to the island’s creative spirit and the depth of talent within our community.

Whether you're a theatre lover, a supporter of local arts, or simply curious to see what your neighbours can create, come experience the magic. Each year brings new voices, new stories, and the same unmistakable passion that makes the Waiheke Short Play Festival something truly special.
