PLAY WRITING
Sat, 4 May 2002, 12:03 pmThere are three parts to any theatrical experience: the audience waiting to be entertained; the actors ready to entertain; and the writers who provide the entertaining material that bring the first two together! This website needs a corner for home-grown writers, where they can be nutured and encouraged to write the plays you want to see.
A place where companies and producers can say: 'I'm looking for a play that would suit young people 15 to 20, older people 50 plus, or middle of the road; one act, or two or more; and goes for 25 minutes, fifty minutes, or more.
A place where writers can say: I write one-act plays with absolute minimum props, suitable for small amateur companies - general drama, comedy, and crime.
A place where publishers can trawl for new material to publish.
A place where companies can find plays to read.
What do you think, dear reader?

Re: PLAY WRITING
Sun, 5 May 2002, 11:32 amWhen we originally formed our Company (Collective Unconscious) we did it for this very reason - our members include actors, playwrights, technicians, directors, and film-maker. However, the group is still small and as a result most people within the group still carry out several roles, and also have second jobs so they can survive. This means people get over-loaded then pull back.
The reason we haven't expanded to make it work better is because we haven't been able to reach enough people to tell them about us. Our mistake. Now that I have found this site I intend to remedy that.
So... a blatant bit of advertising here ... visit our site at www.collectiveunconscious.asn.au to learn about what we do and how to contact us, or email myself and I will bend your ear a bit!
Of course, our group may not include exactly what people are looking for so I would really encourage people to post their wants on this site. I now check it every time I log on. It's the best thing around since sliced bread!!!!! I hope it only continues to gain support.
