Women in Theatre
Call for Kaua‘i “shorts”
Women in Theatre invites playwrights to submit 10-minute plays for the second bi-annual ten-minute play festival. Authors submit their ten-minute play to a qualified panel of adjudicators before the deadline in May; the panel will then choose the works to present at the festival in August.
Those plays will be directed, cast and produced with whatever assistance is needed from WIT. During the festival the plays will be performed over a weekend at the Kaua‘i Community College Performing Arts Center where the audience will vote on their favorites.
As a first step in the process, WIT has arranged for professor Mark Tjarks of Hawai‘i Pacific University to conduct two play-writing workshops on Jan. 31 and Feb. 7. These will offer aspiring dramatists an opportunity to either create a new script or workshop an existing script. There will be a nominal fee and details of time and place will be available upon registration by e-mail: romeycurtis@aol.com
Since many authors at the first festival wished to direct their own work(s), WIT is planning another workshop for participants in April, when directors and professional authors will discuss the transition of a script to the stage, answering questions from the playwrights whose scripts will be read by actors.
