SmackBang Theatre Co. is run by Jared Turner (Producer/Actor), Eero Suojanen (Producer/Director), and Beth Allen (Producer/Actor). However, it is made up of all the brilliant writers, actors, directors, and other professional theatre practitioners who contribute their time, skill and energy into creating bold new homegrown theatre.
SmackBang Theatre Co.is epitomised by our name. It's energetic, exciting, blood-pumping theatre at its best. We want to help revive, encourage, and promote Auckland's locally made theatre. There are many great professional theatres in Auckland but we have created a company where theatre makers can get help to create new work and instigate new ideas. We aim to maximise access to theatre for all emerging, talented, and serious theatre practitioners. SmackBang's overall objective is to make theatre accessible and relevant by encouraging playwrights from a diverse range of areas and backgrounds to submit plays for future productions.
PlayRight is one of NZ's premier playwright competitions. However, what separates PlayRight from other writing competitions in NZ is that it is the only one that offers writers the rare and valuable opportunity of having works actually produced. SmackBang sees this as the number one opportunity writers need if they are to develop their craft. The end result is three one-act plays, at thirty minutes each, rehearsed over a long development period including script readings. These are the best one-act plays New Zealand has to offer in 2006.
What better way to develop the skills and profile of a writer than to have their work read aloud to an audience by professional actors and then performed in a season with a professional director and acting team in an well established venue?
PlayRight 07
Ever wanted to write a play but didn't know where to start?
Have you written a great play but don't know what to do with it?
Well, you're in luck! This year marks the return of PlayRight.
Presented by SmackBang, PlayRight 07 is a national writers' competition for one-act plays, no longer than 30 mins and written by playwrights from across Aotearoa. Writers are free to write about any issue or topic that they choose in the theatrical style that fits. In a nutshell, you write what you like. Nine plays will be chosen for a series of readings at the Herald Theatre, THE EDGE and, from there, a panel of judges consisting of well established theatre practitioners will select three plays to be fully produced and performed later in the year.
This competition is open to all writers - new or experienced, young or old, tall or short, whatever! So dust of those ideas or think of a new one, grab a pen, and get writing. This is an opportunity for kiwi writers to develop their voices or to trial new ideas or forms of writing in a fun and low-risk environment.

Last year marked the first performance (and competition) of the winners of the PlayRight competition.
Our judges for 2006 were Roy Ward (Theatre Director, Auckland Theatre Company's (ATC) Associate Director - Artistic and Literary), Pip Hall (Playwright, Theatre Director, Actor, Creative Producer), and Gary Henderson (Playwright, Theatre Director, Playwright Mentor).
The winning plays for 2006 were
Rogue State
by James O'Sullivan
Four American soldiers burst into the house of Janet and Gary, a retired New Zealand couple watching a rugby test-match on TV. New Zealand has recently been under the control of a dictator and now the Americans are here to liberate the nation.
The Real You
by Colin Moy & John Davies
A journey of reconciliation and self discovery.
Cal arrives on Wedge's doorstep unannounced. He's got nowhere else to go. Wedge is used to bailing his younger brother out, but having him stay is out of the question. There's too much hurt and blame between them. Bonded by blood. Separated by pain. In order to move on, Cal and Wedge have a lot to learn about each other, and themselves.
And Then You Die
by Thomas Sainsbury
Every day and every way, Debbie is getting stronger and stronger, yay!
Debbie Le Valient's two personalities want it all. A gorgeous body, great clothes and a hot boyfriend. But when everything transpires against them Debbie must take drastic measures to take charge of her own destiny.
