Alberta High School Drama Festival Association



These recommendations are Canadian One Act Plays that theatre teachers, students, professionals, and lovers have recommended.  I'll continue to add titles as more people offer suggestions.  

Many we have seen produced on the AHSDFA Stage throughout our 50 years!

*Some may be over our time limit - so be cautious about timing before you commit!  Any cuts or changes you hope to make must be approved by the publisher and/or playwright.  

**Some playwrights who are listed have other one act titles - but I only listed titles that were specifically recommended. 

***AHSDFA has not read and vetted each suggestion - teachers and directors are expected to ensure that the plays are appropriate for their school expectations.
