Monthly. Lean & Mean Writers & Directors is
an opportunity for theatre artists to take a chance and collaborate on 30 minutes
of raw theatre every month. After a show is over, participants for the
upcoming Project 30 put their name in a hat. First the writers are chosen,
then the directors, then the actors; all having been grouped into 5 or 6
casts that will each stage a 5 or 6 minute play in 3 weeks. The writers have
1 week to complete their scripts that will all be about a pre-chosen
theme/topic. Past Project 30 themes include: taking a huge risk, succumbing
to the power of fugly and getting your heart stomped on. Typically the writer
will have to include other pre-chosen, random elements like a whistled
rendition of "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" or a text message or a
dramatically timed burp. The directors and casts have 2 weeks or more
precisely (and stipulated), 9 hours of rehearsal plus one dress rehearsal,

of telling powerful stories, stories that draw a line from the experiences of
individuals to the larger patterns common to human experience, that shine a
broad light on the small events in a life or that examine big stories in very
personal ways, stories told with humor, pathos or any combination of both. If
you are a writer interested in forming a strong artistic partnership to
create meaningful theatre for our times please send an electronic copy of
script along with a brief cover letter outlining your background and artistic
goals to Daniel Elias Cohen. Scripts of any length are acceptable for
submission. A Desperate Act is committed to forming long-term collaborative

Please be
sure to have your script formatted according to their script style
sheet. Looking for scripts that can be
used in worship services to focus the attention of worshipers on specific
themes or life issues that the pastor can then address in the sermon or
message that follows. Sketches
should be from 4 to 7 minutes long and use 1 to 6 characters. Include a statement of purpose, time
requirements, list of characters, prop list and any unusual sound or light
requirements. Scripts should be
sensitive to the unchurched. Avoid Christian-club jargon and insider church
terminology. Must have broad appeal to
both evangelical and mainline audiences.
Most of our scripts are not obviously religious in nature. Rather they
pose human situations that can be addressed from the pulpit following the
sketch. No elaborate staging or
costumes. Problems should be identified without sarcasm or overly critical
tones (hope-based vs. critique-based). We do not want scripts that scold the
audience or try to shame the viewers. Scripts that ridicule the hypocrisy of
Christians are not for us. Avoid
didactic lines. Specifically, avoid making "less spiritual"
characters mere foils who present questions and/or problems for "more
spiritual" characters to resolve as "teachers." Prefer everyday situations to extreme
situations. Remember that there is enough drama, whether painful or humorous,
in most people’s daily lives. For example, the temptation to tell a lie is
much more common than the temptation to kill someone. Build your scripts
around situations most people encounter in the normal course of living. Avoid predictable endings. Prefer instead a
conclusion that is unexpected but still a reasonable extension of the theme
of the sketch. |

Primarily looking for realistic plays that
feature good roles for women, but will look at others. One-acts, no longer than 25 minutes. If possible a permission letter for an AEA
showcase with an end date of 6 months from your submission will be of great
benefit and help us. We are a small
barebones company. PPOK, cast

sorts of work. We do like light
comedies featuring women, but can also do darker shows. We produce lots of classic shows. Although we no longer do so, we hosted the
