some advice for putting on a production
Fri, 10 Feb 2006, 04:02 pmOK people, let me pitch you an idea - you're 18 (nearly 19) years old. You've finished college, and starting CIT (like uniy, but eaiser to get into, and based in Canberra). You have just completed the best, greatest play script in the world (huh, i wish). You know actors you can go to. You know you can do most of the techie work by yourself. But now here's the pop quiz: how does this 18 (nearly 19) year old get published? Do they simply walk up to their local theatre and say, "I wunna put on a show" and take it from there? Or do they search the net and hunt down people in the industry and "gib" them into publishing it?
Yes, this is a question I'VE been buzzing to know about, so if anyone out their has any ideas for what this 18 (very soon to be 19) year old could do, that, would, be, sweet....
One more thing, my "greatest, best, script in the world" is nowhere finished, but it will be...in the next year or so...

Hi Ben
Depending on where you are located, there's heaps of opportunity for young playwrights to get their work on to the stage...Blacktown City Community Theatre (BCCT), for example run "4 Short Plays Plus" every year... playwrights are invited to submit their work and the BCCT committee selects at least 4 for production. One of our selected plays this year was written by a 16 year old playwright.
I'm producing our 2006 4 Short Plays Plus season...BCCT accept submissions in the latter half of the year...check out our website for submission info later on in the year. www.bcct.org.au. Better still if you are in Sydney, come along to one of our 4 Shorts Plus performances in April - opening night is Wed April 26th @8pm(the event is listed on this site under What's On)
If you are in another state...I'm sure if you check out some theatre company websites linked to this site - Theatre Australia - you'll be able to find theatre companies that promote new and original work.
All the best
