Theatre is an ephemeral thing created at a time, in a place, between performers and an audience.
All of those things take many forms, but they are all connected by words.
The call for words has been made! The 15th Annual Notable Acts Theatre Festival will be accepting scripts until the end of April. The best of those will be transformed and solidified over the summer, resulting in their production for audiences in the end of July.
My guest today is all-round “theatre guy” Len Falkenstein. He teaches theatre and is involved in numerous ways with theatre in this city, but he’s here today to specifically talk about the Notable Acts festival, including the variety of things that can be done within the plays, a few words of advice to aspiring playwrights, and the specific forms and categories for the contest.
(BTW: turns out both Len and I were a little wrong on the website. It’s NBActs.com .)
Music today:
- Do you know All I Want? (It’s from the album No Problemo by No Aloha..)
- It’s time to Stop Making Excuses, or so says John Campbelljohn on his album Chin Up.
- Tick, tock, tick… Clock by Instruments from The End Of Light By Heat.
