Theatre@First Seeking One-Act Plays and Directors

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Theatre@First, Davis Square's own community theatre, seeks short one-act plays and directors for an evening of one-acts to be performed over the weekends of July 16 and 23. Our committee will be looking for quality plays by established or local playwrights that draw the broadest possible audience while creating a vibrant evening of theatre. Theme will be determined by the play-reading committee and selected based on the plays received.

Each play will have its own director and cast, and all casting will take place via a general audition this spring. Those interested in directing are encouraged to submit a work of your choice, as are playwrights who would prefer not to direct. Submission criteria is as follows:

·10-20 minute plays on any theme (may not exceed 20 minutes)
·Cast minimum of 2 (no maximum)
·No improvisation or straight dance pieces
·Reasonably appropriate language and content
·Original or published plays are equally accepted. Please indicate whether or not you would be directing.
·Plays will be performed on a simple stage with minimal set requirements and a repertory light plot.
·As we are a community theatre, we cannot offer pay. Theatre@First was founded to provide affordable quality theatre to our community and to offer an artistic venue to community members wishing to share their skills and talents.
·DEADLINE for submission is March 20, 2005.

Theatre@First is located on College Avenue near Davis Square in Somerville. Our previous productions have included Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, David Ives’ All In The Timing, Murder In The Cathedral, and other works past and current. Interested playwrights/directors may submit a script (and brief bio) one of two ways:

A)Via e-mail (Word doc) to one-acts@theatreatfirst.org
B)Via postal mail (address upon request to above e-mail)

For questions, please contact us at one-acts@theatreatfirst.org.

Thanks for posting. I don't have a play, but could you post again when it's time for auditions?

Thanks!
