Check out Canton's 1st One-Act Festival

 

 

TLC Productions has organized Canton's 1st One-Acts Festival and is accepting scripts for consideration, postmarked no later than August 24, 2010.

Comedies, dramas and yes, even musicals will be considered! Canton's 1st One-Acts Festival will take place January 21-23, 2011 at the Village Theater at Cherry Hill in Canton, MI.

 

TLC Productions is made up of Canton's very own: Tim Chanko, Linda Pohl and Christopher Tremblay.

They said this about the inaugural event that will showcase great local talent:


"This festival is being offered to bring new plays and musicals to the Canton community and Village Theater at Cherry Hill stage. As aspiring playwrights, we looked for other venues to submit our one-act musicals, but there weren't any groups organizing any competitions or festivals. Since we have been afforded the opportunity to present our new works at The Village Theater, we wanted to provide a process, venue and event to showcase other emerging playwrights of plays and musicals as well as to aspiring directors. We look forward to this festival becoming a new annual theatrical tradition in Canton."

 

TLC is looking for original plays and musicals in length from 15 minutes to 60 minutes. Preference will be given to 30-45 minutes shows. Multiple submissions from a playwright are welcomed, however, no children shows will be considered.

The deadline for works is August 24, 2010. In October, semi-finalists will be notified. In October, TLC will present dramatic readings of the semi-finalists' scripts. Selected shows for the One-Acts Festival will be announced online at www.tlcprod.wordpress.com by October 31, 2010.  In November, there will be auditions for the selected plays.  Playwrights can request to direct their own show if show is selected or TLC Productions will appoint a director. Preference will be given to aspiring directors.
