The shows are running on Friday and Saturday from 7.30pm and Saturday and Sunday from 2pm, with each play lasting 20 minutes.
The group president Hunter's play, Sometimes I Wonder, is about a middle-aged couple reflecting on their lost love.
"When I submitted it I was very nervous having not written one before but it was very exciting having it chosen."

The other plays being presented are Flumpety Krumps by Deon Cameron which tells the story of a young child who hears noises; Wear Shirts by Paul Bucci about a chance encounter in a park and when an ex-girlfriend turns up in the park and Water Under the Bridge by Kath Harper about disaster striking when two couples are forced to share a house together.
Ms Hunter said 22 plays were submitted.
"Every play was cold read - where group members read from the script without having seen it before," Ms Hunter said.
"The writers were invited to come along to these and were provided with feedback on the scripts."
She said from there 15 were selected and workshopped - from those eight were selected, with four being presented this month and the remaining four in November.
Some of the plays contain course language. Tickets can be booked at trybooking.com/cauls
