Have you ever thought about writing a play? I wouldn’t know where to start.
Back during the first ScriptFrenzy, I did write a screenplay (Crawdads and Co-Colas), and that was quite an experience. But I’ve never been tempted to try writing a play.
Until now.
My mentor, Myra Shofner, will be teaching a free (get that? FREE!) online seminar for local writers soon, “Write the One-Act Play.” Since I have so many on-going projects competing for my time and attention, I was going to let the opportunity slide by. But you know what? I can’t (…as I’ve said before, I’m a pushover when it comes to challenges…hence my participation in NaNoWriMo every year). Yesterday, I broke down and signed up.
So, for those local writers who’ve harbored a secret desire to write a play (and for those who haven’t), here’s your golden opportunity.
The Panhandle Community Theatre is planning the 2010 Summer Theatre Festival which will only feature plays by area playwrights. And only writers who’ve completed the online seminar may submit their plays for consideration.
Go to http://writersgalleryms.com/ for more information about the seminar. And to sign up, send an email to: writersgalleryms (at) aol.com (email address purposely mistyped with (at) instead of @ to foil bots).
The deadline for signing up is August 18th. Don’t miss it.

I can't wait to "get high" from reading the sequel to High On A Mountain...which I loved!
Thanks! I hope I can get the rough draft finished in the next month or so...at least before NaNo...I hope....
