of myself, the writer and the director, for the play mentioned here to be performed in the 2015 SHARP SHORT
THEATRE competition and, if selected, at the SHARP SHORT THEATRE Finals night. I understand no royalties will
be received for these performances but if selected for the final, the participants of this production may be
eligible for prizes. I have read the terms and conditions provided in this document (see next page), understand
them, and agree to adhere to them. If this entry is associated with a school or organisation, I state that the
school/ organisation has full knowledge of this entry and has given the appropriate permission for these
students to be involved and to represent the school.

Date:
1. Each play must be 10 minutes or less in duration. Plays will be timed during the heat technical run and
any play that exceeds this time limit will be asked to cut down their script. Failure to do so for the heat
performance could result in disqualification.
2. The plays performed must be new works written by a person aged 18 years or under, and attending a
secondary training institution or other training institution (e.g. drama academy). Plays will be accepted
from people over 18 only if they are currently studying at a secondary institution (excluding private
drama academies).
3. All performers and directors must be 18 years of age or under.
4. Each production must have a Producer who is over 18 years of age. The producer will be the contact
person for this production (i.e. a teacher or parent). If the producer is not able be present on the daythere must be a responsible adult (at least 18 years of age) present with each group to provide
supervision for the entire duration of the technical run and performance. There are no exceptions- and
a group may be refused entry to the site unless accompanied by a responsible adult.
5. Each production is allowed to bring in any set pieces or personal props required specifically for their
production. However- as time for set changes between each act is limited- we ask these are kept to a
minimum.
6. Technical requirements should be basic, as a standard lighting plot will be used for all productions. Any
other specific technical requirements- such a projection- should be arranged in advance with the
organisers of SHARP SHORT THEATRE. These should not be relied upon as it may not be possible to
accommodate your request.
7. Any music or sound effects required should be supplied to the sound operator on a CD or USB memory
device, along with a script clearly marking where they music is to be used. You MUST have indicated all
music to be used during your production on your APRA* form (to be submitted by 1st May 2015)
otherwise you will not be allowed to use it on the day.
8. Please note that SHARP SHORT THEATRE is a youth competition and therefore content of the entries
must be reasonably suitable for a family audience. The producer must advise Riverside of any coarse
language, adult themes or anything that might be inappropriate for a family audience ahead of time
to allow Riverside to issue appropriate warnings to ticket purchasers. Riverside reserves the right not
to allow a production to be performed should it be deemed unsuitable for this audience.
*APRA (Australian Performing Rights Association) requires Riverside to pay royalties for each piece of music used in a live performance
attended by paying members of the public. These royalties go directly to the artists who created the work. It is important that artists
be acknowledged and financially compensated for the use of the intellectual property.
