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.

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.
