Welcome to Young and Hungry
Festival of New Theatre 2010
Sweet Sixteen & Still Going Strong!
The Young & Hungry Festival of New Theatre began at BATS Theatre in 1994. Since then we have produced over 50 new New Zealand plays for the BATS stage and launched 100’s of careers in the Theatre.
The aim of the festival is to provide young people, 15-25 years old, with an opportunity to work in a professional theatre environment with quality scripts written for them!
Under the mentorship of leading theatre practitioners, these young people have a chance to develop their skills in all facets of the Festival’s production, including: acting, lighting, sound, costumes, set, and stage management.
Young & Hungry is proud to present the fresh and funky 2010 season – includng exciting new plays from Eli Kent (Thinning), Sarah Delahunty (Song of Four) and new playwrighting duo Antoniana Bale and Ban Abdul (Sick!).
Thanks to the generous support of Creative New Zealand, Wellington City Council and Pub Charity, the Festival of New Theatre continues to pave the way for young people in the performing arts industry.
2010 marks the 2nd year in partnership with Auckland Theatre Company; with simultaneous festival seasons taking place in Auckland and Wellington Young & Hungry is quickly becoming a national movement!
