SCDA's
2025 Festival of One-Act Plays
Each year, we look to enter at least x1 play into Scotland's annual one-act play festival which is hosted by the SCDA.
The festival is split into two sections:
- Open (for Senior Entries)
- Youth (for Junior, Intermediate and Senior Age Categories)
There are various rounds within the festival which are held in different locations. Depending on which section you would like to enter (this could be either one or both if it is a junior production) is important that you will be available on the applicable dates before you consider reading for a part:
Unfortunately, there is no youth festival in the Highland division for 2025 due to no youth entries being received.
