| Asphalt Jungle Shorts IV | Kitchener, Ontario, Canada | This is site-specific theatre--not looking for performance pieces, interpretive stuff, surreal, nothing actually out of the extraordinary. I'm looking for plays that feel as if the audience is sneaking around downtown, spying on people...those are the ones that work the best...when people aren't sure if it's a play or not...and believe me, there've been a few that the audience crowded to watch that were not plays. One minute to ten minutes....fifteen if it's incredible. Here are a some ideas for sites: - Fire escape - Shoe store - City Hall (There is a huge fountain outside) - There are some tiny parks - green spaces - On the street - Art Gallery - Empty store (could be anything) - Bar (we will usually end up in a bar where we can ply the audience with drink). Notes - The hospital, police station, library...all too far to walk to. There is no industry downtown. The royalties are a dollar a minute a night..

The McLaren Festival will take place in early fall; the winning full length entries will have staged readings of the Finalists with winners selected by audience vote, and beginning with the 2008 competition, the winning one-act entry will receive a workshop treatment. Midland Community Theatre may select any Finalist for a fully-staged Season or Special production. If so, the playwright's lodging and transportation are provided for opening weekend. http://www.mctmidland.org/mclarenguidelines.htm http://www.mctmidland.org/mclaren.php | |||
