Wanted; chick play.
Mon, 3 Nov 2003, 02:52 pmOK, I have 4 of the most talented girls in town, I have an amazing director, I think I might even have a venue, now all I need is a play. But do you think I can find one? Do you??!! Noooooooooooo.
Where are all the plays with female characters that are not exclusively concerned with men, insipient lesbianism or the death of ones mother? For Gods sake this town is replete with incredibly talented women who can't get a gig. Why is no-one writing decent chick plays?
Do I have to stoop to adapting a play with male characters? Do I have to commit crimes against art and try to write one myself? Do I have to give up and face another round of auditions where forty women audition for the one female role, and when the director rings to reject you he also asks if you wouldn't mind chasing down some of your male actor mates and asking them if they'd be interested because he can't fill the male roles?
Well??!!
Hmph.

Nope. No homophobia at all. Your synopsis about the sad little kitten or the kid with a speech impediment or whatever it was that you posted some time ago, you know the one, sounded like one of those emails that friends with no email etiquette send from time to time, made me cringe just as much. It just sounded awful. As does this one.
Cliched, contrived soap opera pap.

ps- opinions of potential audience members don't matter to you? Good luck!
