Year Two

What a difference a year makes!

In the fall of 2007, when we put out our first call for short play submissions by local authors, no one had heard of us. We were new and unknown. But by the end of the year, submissions were trickling in and we were taking queries about extending the deadline. We did.

By the time we finished our selections last year, we were still struggling to find a venue. We'd made proposals to cultural centers and colleges, but in the end, our home was to be found in a church. Not until March were we able to announce the selected playwrights and solicit directors for auditions at the church in April.

This year... it's another ball game.

When we put out our call for short play submissions this fall, the scripts poured in. By the end of the year, there was no need to extend the deadline; we had plenty to choose from.

Our readers worked quickly this year to finalize our selections, and this time, there is no struggle to find a venue: we've made our home in the Swedenborgian Church.

It's good to be in Year Two!

Based on our experience last year, we expected to announce our selections in March. But now... well, we suspect we'll be contacting playwrights just a little bit earlier this year.

So our call for directors comes sooner as well!

If you are interested in directing in PerspectiveFest 2009, drop us a line. If you didn't work with us last year, please include a directorial resume. If you did, skip the resume. We'll be happy to see you again!
