'I Am' in the Gala Final of Short+Sweet Dubai 2013


'I Am' makes it to the Gala Final of Short+Sweet Dubai 2013 as the WINNER of the people's choice vote for Top 20 Week 1. It also tied for the Runner-Up position in the Judges' vote.

Do come and support Short+Sweet over the next weekend. The Gala Final, of course, is not to be missed as it will feature the 10 best plays from over 50 plays running in the festival.


The cast of 'I Am'
There are two shows for the Final, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday 2nd March at DUCTAC, Mall of the Emirates.

A BIG thank you to everyone who supported us over the last weekend. This wouldn't have been possible without YOU!

A special shout-out to all the participants in Short+Sweet. The festival has truly opened our eyes to the infinite possibilities and the unending reserves of talent in our little Oasis in the desert.

On a personal note, I must thank the cast and crew for their ceaseless efforts in making every outing of Third Half Theatre thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding. Every bit counts and it is the sum of the efforts of the entire team behind the scenes that helps our cast when they are on stage.

This play has been quite different from most of our previous productions and that is chiefly due to the belief, passion, and sincere committment shown by the cast. There is some magic here that I cannot, and dare not, explain.

I Am

Third Half Theatre is proud to present their next original production ‘I Am’ for the first Dubai edition of the world’s largest festival of ten minute plays: Short+Sweet.

After the success of our last original production ‘Garçon’ and the overwhelming positive feedback it continues to receive, we are indeed very fortunate to be pioneering the movement for locally produced original theatre in Dubai along with other like-minded theatre aficionados.

The Short+Sweet festival will run over two weekends from 21st February till the 2nd of March 2013. There are over 50 plays to choose from and quite a few of them are original productions.

Our play is billed in the Top 20 Week 1, and will be staged at 8:00 p.m. on 21st, 22nd and 23rd February, 2013 at the Kilachand Theatre, DUCTAC, Mall of the Emirates.

Tickets are available at Time Out Tickets and at the venue. Do hope to see you there!
