Editor's Note: This press release was sent out by the Friends of the Audi & Community Players of Concord.
Ever walked out of a theatre thinking "I could have written that play ... and I would have changed the scene where ..."?
Here comes your chance to write your play, present a draft to a gathering of drama buffs, and hope that nobody makes much of a scene.
Or, ever walked out of a theatre wondering how the playwright got from a simple question to a dramatic tour de force or a nail-biter mystery, even a top-tapping musical?
Well, here’s your chance to meet a playwright whose pages of words are getting sharpened for the stage. Ask him. Or you can add your own two cents, and hope he doesn’t make much of a scene.
New works for the theatre by New Hampshire playwrights get a 2008-2009 incubator in the Concord City Auditorium lobby as PAGE TO STAGE opens Sunday, Oct. 5, from 3 to 5 p.m. First in the season-long series of monthly events, David John Preece will introduce his new project, an adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The House of the Seven Gables”. It will be a unique event for serious theatre folk, as David “threatens” to involve the audience in the reading and the discussions. P2S is free and open to all interested persons. Dramatic desserts will be served and donations will be accepted. Lobby seating is limited, so reservations are suggested at 225-7474 or nhdm40@comcast.net.
The PAGE TO STAGE series is supported by the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust, a principal benefactor of new stage works. The Friends of the Concord City Auditorium and the Community Players of Concord, NH, are honored by this support and will act as co-hosts, with Carol Bagan and Wayland Bunnell as Friends/Players co-chairs.
Shout Out to NH Playwrights: If you’ve been working on an idea for a play or your script is ready for a reading and you’d like to present it at PAGE TO STAGE, contact Concord Community Players’ President Wayland Bunnell, 668-5466 or wtarrytown@aol.com. He’ll lead you through the process, getting your script to the P2S readers – Beth Fenske, Christine Hamm, Carol Kyne, and Stuart Russell, and then on the monthly schedule. PAGE TO STAGE aims to develop new plays, foster new NH playwrights, and eventually present new works for the stage. It all starts with a reading, a workshop. And ends? Well, the best musical ever – “A Chorus Line” – started with a workshop.
