Choosing 2007 plays
On 10 Oct we will be selecting plays to perform in 2007. The slots have changed this year, so here are some details about what we're looking for, to get you thinking. Any member of the group, or even a newcomer, can advocate a play for the group to perform. If you have a suggestion you want to bring to the meeting, please check out the "How We Decide What To Do" page on the website: http://www.woodhouseplayers.co.uk/members_programming.html and then mail chair@woodhouseplayers.co.uk so we can circulate the names of suggested plays ahead of the meeting, enabling those who can't attend to express a view by email.
If you would like to direct something, but are stuck for ideas, you could check out the slush pile page (plays previously suggested by various members): http://www.woodhouseplayers.co.uk/members_slushpile.html
Here's a list of the slots we are selecting for:
FEBRUARY STUDIO PRODUCTION
This will perform in February half term. We are looking for a full length play with a small cast (certainly less than ten and ideally less than five), and a shoestring budget. A good slot in which to do something 'experimental' that may not pull in massive crowds but would be a good development for the participants. Could be new writing.
DOUBLE BILL
We need to choose two one-act plays to perform in the Easter Holiday and to be taken to local drama festivals (if they run in 2007). No particular constraints on the subject matter or size of cast, but to enter a festival, a play would need to be fairly simple to stage and run somewhere between 20 and 50 minutes. Budgets are small. New writing especially welcome.
CABARET?
For the last two years we have run a cabaret in May. We need to decide whether this should continue into 2007, and if so who is willing to produce it, as Tim won't be around to do so in '07.
WHITSUN STUDIO PRODUCTION
If there are enough suggestions, we may select something for this slot, or leave it vacant and decide at another meeting in Feb. Another small-cast, small-scale effort in a similar vein to the February show. This year we did "Teechers" in this slot.
(UNDER MILK WOOD)
It has already been decided that we are going to stage a revival of this year's "radio reading" of Under Milk Wood, at the Kenneth More Foyer Studio Theatre. This will be some time in the early Spring, date tbc.
So, a quick recap:
- CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE FOR HOW WE CHOOSE STUFF
- IF YOU'D LIKE TO DIRECT SOMETHING BUT ARE STUCK FOR IDEAS, CHECK OUT THE SLUSH PILE
- IF YOU'RE GOING TO ADVOCATE SOMETHING, ESTABLISH WHICH SLOT IT SHOULD GO IN, THEN MAIL YOUR SUGGESTION TO chair@woodhouseplayers.co.uk, IDEALLY AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THE MEETING
- COME TO THE MEETING ON 10 OCTOBER, WCH, AND VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITES
