It’s time for local playwrights to think about submitting a 10-minute play for 2013 PlayFest.
Once again it’s that time of year when Actors Theater of Orcas Island puts out a call to seasoned and aspiring playwrights to wake up their creative juices and begin work on the next big 10-minute play.
Although the PlayFest is a showcase for locally-written 10-minute plays, this audience-pleasing, three weekend event also highlights the talents of Orcas actors, directors, and stage crews. The 2012 PlayFest saw seven plays produced—all written, directed, and acted by both experienced and inexperienced islanders.
Anyone with the thought or desire is encouraged to give it a go. Guidelines and samples will be sent to each participant to ensure each has the appropriate information for submission. Each play will be reviewed by experienced local theater people before selection of the seven plays to be produced.
If you are interested in writing a play, contact Lin McNulty at orcaswoman@gmail.com or 376-1003 to receive the 2013 PlayFest Guidelines. Early submission is desirable so writers can receive feedback and make revisions if desired.
Submission deadline is February 15. Rehearsals typically begin in early April.
Whether you are a seasoned playwright or someone with no experience, consider submitting your work.
