Geva's Young Writer's Showcase is looking for 10 minute scripts (about 10 pages or fewer). Even if you had a play selected last year, consider submitting one of your shorter plays (or the first or second act of your longer play) to the contest. The deadline is February 3. You must include a title page with your name, full address, phone #, and even email (if you have one) (see sample handout).
Entering Geva's contest will give you extra participation credit. You may submit up to 3 plays. During class you may work on the Geva submission play. Please proofread your play before printing it out or sending it to Geva electronically. Put copies of scripts either in my drop box with the file name Geva, or print out and put in the envelope in the front of our class with your Sokol and Gannon entries.
Tomorrow is the absolute last deadline to enter the Scholastic Writing contest. Please consider doing this (but do it immediately, if you haven't done so already). Most of the short stories or poem cycles you have would be excellent choices for Scholastic.
Other than working on contests, please continue to work on your full length plays. Use your time in lab effectively please.
Finally, please turn in the character answers from last class (see blog entry below). This homework is due today.
This blog is designed for Rochester City School students at the School of the Arts in support of their classes: Playwriting & Film Studies.
