ACToberfest is intended to provide an event that can be hosted in any community in the province and features One-Act plays of less then one hour in length. Anyone can enter. The final line-up is decided through a selection process. Particular attention is given to new plays and Canadian works, including scripts that have been entered into Theatre BC's Canadian National Playwriting Competition.
