Work-Life Balance selected for production!

[breakinglight11]

Today I got word that in one month I will have the opportunity to put up a play at a venue in New York City! Earlier this month I submitted one of my ten-minute plays, the superhero-themed Work-Life Balance, to the Short Play Lab having a showcase in the Roy Arias Studios at 300 West 43rd Street in NYC. It will go up on Saturday, December 15th and Sunday, December 16th. I'm not sure of the times yet, as it could be one of two blocks each day. This is extremely exciting for me, as it is my first time being selected from a juried script call.

For this call, I am responsible for putting the production together and bringing it to the venue. So that means I need to cast, rehearse, and costume this thing in a hurry. I've only got one month to put it together, but I only just heard I got accepted, and at least it's a short play. I am currently investigating who I'd want to cast that is available for this period, and who can make it to New York on those days. It's a responsibility I wasn't expecting to have right now, as I thought the next few weeks would be a reprieve for me, but it's worth it to have a script of mine put on in a real venue. At least it doesn't require any set or props-- I just need to wrangle a couple of actors for rehearsal, and figure out how to dress them up as superheroes.

Thank you to everyone who offered congratulations on this happening for me. :-) I was starting to get discouraged, so this was a real pick-me-up. Wish me luck getting everything together!

Oh, are these likely to be evening productions? I am going to ask for time off work on Saturday.

Wow! Amazing! Swing for the fences, and knock it out of the park.

As someone who must have done the start to that play a dozen times in tights, I'm really glad to hear that it's going to get a serious production! In NYC, no less. Good luck, Phoebe! I'm sure it'll be awesome.
