This postWriting one play wasn’t enough. Two weeks ago I got a hankering to submit something to the New Play Project’s Eccentricities playfest (the deadline was the 11th), and so I wrote a play called Snowstorm (a comedy about five people stuck in a middle-of-nowhere motel during a blizzard) and sent it in before I left for Vegas.
And it got accepted. :) It’s one of a handful of plays (either nine or seven, I can’t quite tell), and the performances will be February 29 and March 1, though I’m not sure where yet. More details later.
If anyone’s interested in acting or directing any of the plays, here’s the call for auditions I got in my inbox last night:
[Auditions] will be held Tuesday, Jan 22 from 7-9 pm and Wednesday, Jan 23 from 3-5 pm in the Harris Fine Arts Center on BYU campus, exact room TBA. Check the website this weekend for details. Performances will be Feb 29 and March 1.
You don’t need to prepare anything for auditions, just plan on attending either day for around 30 minutes to do two to three cold readings from the scripts.
We also still have slots available for applicants to direct or assistant direct as well as dramaturgy and technical positions.
The Facebook event for the auditions says, “We’ve got 24 roles available for our upcoming show, ‘Eccentricities.’ Each role will rehearse an estimated 2-4 hours per week.” So there are plenty of opportunities.
Anyway, I’ll be revising the play over the next few weeks, and I’m also starting work on a play for the NPP Lost & Found playfest. Beyond that, I’m slowly drafting my Amor Libris book, and in the near future I’ll start to revising Out of Time into something readable. If only I had more time…
(I’m still behind on everything, by the way, but I’ll be responding to y’all’s comments and e-mails by the end of the week.)
