From relatively recent works like Martin McDonagh’s caustic dramedy The Beauty Queen of Leenane to classics by Shakespeare and Noël Coward, the Australian Capital Theatre Hub’s (ACT Hub) 2025 season offers local audiences a diverse mix of 11 productions, including musical theatre, new adaptations and more.
“The aim of the Hub Fest is to encourage artists of any calibre to pitch us a show they have wanted to do, but haven’t yet had the chance [to tackle], and bring it to life in our little indie theatre. These works can be existing texts, new pieces or even a series of scenes/monologues – the sky’s the limit. We really want to celebrate the playwriting talent we have in this country, and activate our space with a crop of artists we may not have engaged with yet – and we think this Festival is the perfect way to do that.
