Successful entrants will represent the Central Division at the Quarter Final on 25 April.<br \/>The festival will take place at The Rose Theatre, Rugeley, on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th April.<br \/>Open to amateur theatre companies and performers of all experience levels, the festival provides a valuable platform to showcase work, connect with like-minded groups, and gain professional insight. Each production receives detailed adjudication from an experienced professional, making the festival an enriching experience for both participants and audiences.<br \/>Each session will feature two or three one-act plays. The programme typically includes a diverse range of work \u2014 from established classics to new writing \u2014 encompassing a variety of styles and scales, including ensemble productions and two-handers, youth and adult performances, as well as drama, comedy, fantasy, and tragedy.<br \/>The festival concludes on Sunday with an awards presentation, where we will announce the production selected to progress to the Central Division Quarter Final, with the possibility of advancing further to the Central Area Semi-Final, and ultimately to the English and British Finals.<br \/>We warmly encourage new groups to take part and experience the creativity, collaboration, and professional development the festival offers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf57e31 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bf57e31\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67efbf6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"67efbf6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4053e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e4053e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1><strong>HASTILOW ONE ACT PLAY FESTIVAL ROSE THEATRE RUNNING ORDER. 11<span class=\"s1\">TH<\/span> AND 12<span class=\"s1\">TH<\/span> APRIL 2026<\/strong><\/h1><div><p class=\"p1\"><strong>Saturday 2pm &#8211;<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p1\">1.
