The annual PlaySix Short Play Festival provides quality exposure to talented local playwrights (both emerging and established), as well as a networking forum for Melbourne actors and directors. Many works originally produced in PlaySix have gone on to great success at other local and international festivals and events. 2026 is our twenty-first season and our seventh at The MC Showroom.
