We are only weeks away from the launch of a brand new theatre resource in Australia NZ.

If you are tired of paying overseas rights for overdone plays and want to source Australian written and performed plays FREE of rights or at least inexpensive in comparison then this will be for you.

We are currently seeking MORE performed but UNPUBLISHED plays, monologues pantomimes, any theatre art written in Australia or NZ.

So authors please contact us as soon as possible. The main web site will be operating at the beginning of July with the Official launch of Armpit Plays shortly thereafter.

We will be seeking editors and synopsis writers and Theatre consultants in all areas over the coming months. Please wait until we advertise!

You may visit http://www.armpitplays.com or for a more detailed guide to our resource then phone us on 0423 116 114

Do grow up Nic. No that is not the purpose of this. I am tired of watching performances of "Importance of being Earnest", and with the Howard Govt changes to copyright its difficult to stage a contemporary play when we are paying rights to overseas based publishing houses.

There is a plethora of talent in Australia, but not always picked up by publishing houses..we have authors already who actaully contacted me direct WITHOUT INSULTS and have learnt that we intend to have a resource of ANZ plays for the use of Community and school theatre.

We will also be donating a copy of each script that we bind to the State library.

Some authors have declined to charge rights to community theatre ( I am one) but would like to see their work performed to a wider audience.

I would suggest Nic, that your ignorance is almost on the same scale as your paranoia.

Perhaps posting an email to us you might learn instead of shooting your mouth off. ANYONE who would like to know exactly how the authors work and copyright REMAINS with them can email for more info.
