In 2008, New Perspective contacted playwrights with the announcement that one or more of their plays would be produced on March 10. By the same date in 2009, that announcement was not only a month old, but we'd already found directors for more than half of the pieces chosen.
The ides of March found us way ahead of the game.
Now, as we celebrate Saint Patrick's day,we're buckling down to find the last few directors.
Today we feature three plays still available to interested directors, written by Kevin Six. In 2008, Kevin was a member of the New Perspective Marketing Team. Soon after the festival, Kevin was named Playwright in Residence at Swedenborg Hall.
Kevin has written a play in three "Galleries" with the series titled LOVE, UNREQUITED. The first gallery -- MORNING (AMERICAN MASTERS) -- won first place in the 2008 Script Tease of Short Plays Competition. AFTERNOON (ASIAN GALLERY) also took an Honorable Mention in that competition.
If the title LOVE, UNREQUITED sounds familiar to you, it may be that you've recently seen or heard about the production of Kevin's full-length play LOVE, NEGOTIATED which premiered this February at Swedenborg Hall, featuring a number of faces familiar to the New Perspective Festival. LOVE, NEGOTIATED took second place in the Heller Theatre Playwriting Contest for 2008, with submissions accepted from across the country.
Kevin's short play THE CAKE WOMEN was published by Smith & Kraus in The Best Ten-Minute Plays for 3 or More Actors (2007), and his fast-paced short NO PROBLEM was a hit in New Perspective's inaugural festival.If you'd like to direct one of Kevin's pieces in this year's festival, drop a line to perspectivefest@gmail.com.
We look forward to hearing from you!
