WordPlay Tuesday

Informal reading and discussion
Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 8:00pm

Local writers, Caroline Shively Sucher Byars, Jaye Fortune, and Jesse Keller, will hear short segments of their new works read out loud in a relaxed "open-mic" style setting in front of a friendly audience.

Actors - we want to remind you what a great opportunity WordPlay Tuesday is to brush up on your cold reading skills! Arrive early - around 7:30pm - to hear the writers announce their casting needs, then volunteer for a part.

Anyone who is a fan of watching new works come to life is invited to join the conversation.

The readings are FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Visit www.diversionary.org/wordplay.html for more information.

Playwrights in Process: New Play Festival

A Collaboration with Cygnet Theatre

Playwrights Project, in collaboration with Cygnet Theatre, is requesting original, un-produced plays for Cygnet's 3rd annual Playwrights in Process: New Play Festival. The festival is three days of readings, post-show discussions, and audience-focused workshops.

Rehearsal of Pleasure and Pain,
PiP 2013

As part of Playwrights in Process, playwrights will be afforded an exciting opportunity to have their plays developed in a multi-stage process. Writers will work with a director/dramaturg from selection confirmation through the festival. Cygnet Theatre will provide professional actors for two, private table readings. After each, the playwright will work with her/his mentor to further develop the play.

The final revision will be rehearsed and presented before a discerning, theatre audience. Through a facilitated discussion, the writers will receive audience feedback on the play to help them further develop their plays, and to better prepare the works for future productions.

The festival takes places November 7-9, 2013 at Cygnet Theatre.

The deadline for submissions is May 16, 2014.

Full submission guidelines & entry form available at:
