The Potato Shed hosts Theatre 3triple2’s 10th annual 12×12 festival in December, presenting a series of 12 plays of 12 minutes or less.
The 10th anniversary of the event, held on the 12th day of the 12th month each year, will showcase local, original plays in a broad range of genres written and performed by Bellarine and Greater Geelong writers and actors.
Theatre 3triple2 secretary Chris Reynolds said the company’s 12×12 event was popular every year, and 2022 was proving to be no different.
“A capacity audience for us is 150, and we’ve sold nearly 90 tickets to each show so far,” Mr Reynolds said.
“So there are a few tickets left, but most of the cast haven’t got tickets for their families and friends yet, and we find that in the last week or so tickets get snapped up pretty quickly.
“It’s always very, very popular, so if people want to come, get your tickets before they sell out.”
Mr Reynolds said 12×12 was important for giving up and coming writers and performers a platform to show their work in a format that wasn’t too daunting.
“We have a number of people who perform with GSODA and Skin of Our Teeth, people from Grace Studios as well, but we also have a lot of first timers,” he said.
“It’s all part of entertainment, giving people a go and letting our patrons see a variety of shows and performances.
“And a 12 minute play is great because if you’re doing it with three other people, you’re only going to be the focus for two or three minutes with a dozen lines.”
