We’ve made some changes to our Original Short-Play Expo, to be held October 17th.  Based on feedback from writers and crew, we have decided to make it more of a festival and workshop format.

The play submission deadline has been extended to Sept 15, in light of the changes
in format (we no longer require time to rehearse and stage each script).

Interested writers should still submit work for consideration (20 minutes / 4 actors maximum) to productions@avthespians.org. From these, AVT will select several for a series of one-hour sessions, which will consist of a reading and limited staging by actors, who will have had advance reading of the scripts to develop basic characters.  Following the reading, a panel of tech crew, along with AVT’s Artistic Director, Technical Director, and Production Stage Manager, will lead a discussion on the work.

Aspiring playwrights will receive feedback from actors, techies, production staff, fellow writers, and audience members through this expo.

Audience and guests are welcome to stop by at any time during the expo. Admission will be free. RSVP and address information will be released closer to the event, after we have selected and scheduled the works to be exhibited.

Join us for an afternoon of experimental community theatre!
