Experience Cosmo Girls by Lawrie Carruthers, along with seven other fantastic plays during this year’s Newmarket International Festival of One Act Plays!

This year’s festival brings together a remarkable collection of works from playwrights across Canada, the United States, and Japan, offering a diverse exploration of the human condition through the intimate lens of the one-act play.

From the hauntingly poetic perspective of a child in a war-torn village to the humorous resilience of female friendship in a hospital waiting room, the 2026 festival traverses a wide emotional landscape. Audiences will encounter tales of creative struggle, unexpected connections, and the absurdities of life, all captured in compact, powerful narratives. Join them in celebrating national and international voices and the enduring power of live theatre!
