CATnips - 2026 Call for submissions

Are you a playwright? Have you ever wanted to direct a play? Maybe you're an actor with a passion project you would like to share. Well we have the festival for you! Central Alberta Theatre is pleased to present their annual CATNIPS One-Act Festival.

This long standing festival has been a staple of CAT for many years. It is an all inclusive festival that allows for original one-act plays as well as previously published material. Many of our participants have gone on to award winning festivals such as the Heartland and Provincial One-Acts. 

The festival will be presented April 17th-18th 2026 and submissions are now open until January 31st 2026. Please contact Jeremy Robinson, Artistic Producer, at 403-309-0522 or email at artisticproducter@centralalbertatheatre.ca.
