Auditions for Playfest 2010 are today, March 23.

There are roles for seventeen actors in a wide range of ages. Auditions will be held at the Grange from 7 to 10 p.m. this evening. (There were also auditions on March 20 — only one audition needed per actor/actress).

Please show up in loose fitting clothing and be prepared for some fun stage work and readings from the plays.  Contact Ron Herman at 831-234-4960 or by e-mail at santabearkitkat@hotmail.com for additional information.

Acting experience is not necessary. The plays are available for review at the Orcas Island Library at the Front Desk.

A total of 18 plays were submitted for PlayFest 2010. The selection committee read the submitted scripts, given the playwrights written feedback and read plays that were revised and resubmitted based on the feedback.

There will be just four performances of Playfest 2010

Sandwiched between Orcas Center’s production of Gypsy and the Choral Society’s Spring Concert, Playfest 2010 will have just four performances.  Performances will be at 7:30 pm at the Grange on Thursday, April 29th, Friday, April 30th, Saturday, May 1st and Sunday, May 2nd.  All tickets are $5 and will be available Darvill’s Book Store and, for the first time, on line at Brown Paper Tickets.
