Description
The main stage portion of the festival will run from September 2024 3rd-15th at the LSPU Hall in St. John's, NL, with the wider festival kicking off in late August.
Each participating artist/group is responsible for producing their own piece and promoting the festival as a whole. Volunteer opportunities will be available at the orientation meeting in June for accepted artists/groups. St. John’s Shorts will provide each participating production: the venue, two performances (minimum), a tech rehearsal, box office management, a Festival Coordinator & Technical Director, professional development workshops, marketing support, the festival budget, and final financial reports.
