There are five groups this year, presenting their performances from May 27th to June 5th. They combine the knowledge gained by the students from their four-year study at the Department of Theatrical Studies and aim to communicate their artistic concerns to a wider audience. Each team has its own moment of creation under the responsibility of a professional creator, production manager, producer, director, actor or whatever role they choose. Although this is essentially a course exam, none of the students treat it as just another exam. It is a preparation for the transition into the professional arena of the theatre industry, in all areas of production: artistic and organizational.

The "Westies" present the play "ART" by Yasmina Reza, on June 3rd and 4th 2024 at the Trianon Theatre, at 22:00.
It is a comedy, where a friendship of years disappears in the dense whiteness of a painting. A painting where, if you half-close your eyes, you can see the truths that were never spoken. A lover of contemporary art, a lover of the good old days and the great reconciler of humanity are confronted with the simple, everyday things: a wedding invitation, the smoke of a cigarette and 200,000 bucks. @westiesproductions
The newly formed theatrical group named "Orion Dramatics" presents the play "Granada" by Yannis Kalavrianos, on Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th of June 2024 at 20:00, at the Underground Hall of the School of Fine Arts, in Aria area of Nafplio. @orion.dramatics

The Festival since then lasts from a week to ten days and is usually held in late May to early June.
