The Shotgun Theater Festival: A Series of Spontaneous Artistic Collaboration.
Competition
Currently, we are seeking actors, directors, playwrights, stage managers, technicians, per5formance artists, musicians, and volunteers of any sort. This is an exciting opportunity with great potential for growth in the future.
Festival dates are either January 8,9,10, and 18 or January 15,16,17, and 18th.
The concept is an innovative one. We get directors, actors, and playwrights in a room one night and over the course of a weekend, WRITE, REHEARSAL AND PERFORM Fourteen ten-minute plays IF FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE.
These plays compete for audience votes to appear again on the final day of the festival. On that day, audience votes, and an esteemed panel of judges will select a winning production. That group of people will be awarded a rent free weekend at the Gene Frankel Theatre to produce a full-length version of the mini play created.
We hope to bring artists together and give them an opportunity to meet other people in the business as well as show off their skills. Participation is free and there is no audition necessary.
Please send questions and submissions to shotguntheater@yahoo.com. Beginning January 2, 2009,
Please feel free to stop by the theatre between the hours of 2-6pm M-F to submit in person and take a look around.

“LOVE FOR SALE…WHAT PRICE WOULD YOU PAY FOR A TRIP TO PARADISE?”
From national news to private blogs; the downfall of political administrations and the exposure of the women (and men) behind them.
Sexy!!! Disturbing!!! Emotionally Gripping!!!
JANE HO and LOVE IS A VERB are psychologically penetrating character studies about the world of high-priced (and low profile) prostitution and the individuals caught up in its tangled web of secrecy, promises, half-truths, lies, deceit, sexual insecurities and PayPal.
Spend an intimate evening with a few of the people you read as well as fantasize about as they take you on a journey of the mind’s sexual eye.

I believe that anyone wishing to undertake the arduous task of the study of acting should be given as much encouragement and guidance as possible. As a playwright, actor and coach I strive to encourage student actors to pursue theatre in a manner that best suits their individual interests, aspirations and abilities. The wonderful thing about teaching actors is the requirement for individualized teaching and attention which makes it unlike any other kind of instructional academic environment. My goal is to challenge and nurture the creative energy of students while fostering enthusiasm on their part for personal discovery of the acting process. I believe that the acting process is different for each student. While I agree there are basic skills an actor needs to understand regarding voice, movement, text analysis and peri
