I have a number of short plays playing in different festivals. These are generally evenings of ten-minute plays. Theatres seek submissions and I send off material. And so far I've been pretty lucky, getting into any number of them. Of course that's not to say I don't get rejected. Usually by email. I received one on Christmas Day. Who spends Christmas at the office sending out insulting form rejections?
But like I said, I've been fortunate. I have one play called THE HOOK UP that will be in three different festivals within the next month.
Tonight it's playing at the Eclectic Theatre at 5312 Laurel Canyon in North Hollywood. I'll be there so say hi if you come. It's a bizarre comedy. You can get info here.
It will also be in the Short + Sweet Festival in Sydney, Australia the week of March 5th -- 11th. You can get info here.
And in New York at the ANDTheatre Company's night of shorts from March 2-11. I'll be in New York to see a couple of those performances. You can get info here. So if three festivals picked it, you figure it has a chance of being good, right?
But wait, there's more. One of my other plays, SURF'S UP, will be performed in Long Island on April 14th & 15th as part of the Northport Plays Readers' Theatre. You can get info here.
The great thing about ten minute play festivals is that you get a lot of variety. And if one of the plays sucks you know it'll be over in only ten minutes. Even if it's one of mine.
Anyway, hope you'll come out and support live theatre. And if you live in LA, I hope you'll support live theatre TONIGHT. Swing by the Eclectic Theatre Company. And hey, there's a Shakey's across the street so you can make a whole glorious evening of it. Thanks much.
