My play will be produced!

The other I got an e-mail telling me that my play has been accepted into the New Works Festival at Foothill College! I am so thrilled you can hardly imagine. I’m going to have a play produced this year! (Considering one of my goals for the year has been, “Get my work out in front of people,” I’d say I can make a small check next to that entry in the ledger.)

The New Works Festival (here’s the info about last year’s show) presents an evening of 6 to 8 10-15 minute plays. Rehearsals start in June and the show is produced sometime in August.

Needless to say, as the time approaches, I will be putting up banners all over the place for anyone who might be interested in attending what I think will be a fine evening of theater. I’ve seen most of the plays that are in the show — the best thing about the Playwriting class is that every week the writers bring in pages and actors get up in front of the class to act them out, which brilliant and useful when you want to see what works and what doesn’t — and these plays are great (if I don’t mind saying so myself, which apparently I don’t).

Now the actual work of getting my play into the best shape it can be begins! Woooooo!
