CAST Players One Act Playwrighting Competition 2011
Beaumont, CA, May 28, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Catch A Star Theatrical (CAST) Players is pleased to announce their first ever One-Act Playwriting Competition. Aspiring playwrights of all ages who reside within the United States are invited to submit their unpublished works. All styles and genres are welcome. Top plays will be showcased at the 2012 One Act festival to be held in Beaumont, CA.
A grass roots endeavor, it has been embraced by the community and support for the event is growing. Competition organizers are themselves published writers. “It is important to me to showcase original plays each season,” says Annette Tringham, Artistic Director for CAST Players. “A lot of talented writers do not have a venue for their work. This competition is a great way to jumpstart that process.”
Managing Director, Richard Meinhold agrees, “I’m very excited about the competition and the 2012 festival. It is a wonderful opportunity to expose our community to fresh voices and interesting theater. There’s nothing like it in this area.”
The top ten plays and authors will be listed on CAST Players website through December 31, 2012. The top six plays will each receive $100 and three performances at the One-Act festival in June, 2012, plus one all-access festival Pass. At the conclusion of the festival, additional monetary prizes of $400 for First Place, $300 for Second Place and $200 for Third Place will be awarded, as will $100 for the play voted Audience Favorite.
The deadline for submission is December 31, 2011 and complete information, guidelines and entry forms are posted on the theater website at www.castplayers.org.
