Imagine you have just 2 days to write a 10 minute play using the following ingredients:

What would you write?

Might you find freedom and focus by having those restrictions?

What would your bake-off ingredients look like?

[Hint: This would be a great writing exercise for you to take on with a group of friends as a weekend writing sprint just for fun or for distraction. If you are having a tough time generating a list of ingredients, then let me know, and I’ll send you some. See below for links to the origin of the Bake-Off.]

In early April, the Women’s Theatre Festival released the list of required ingredients above, and eighteen NC playwrights stepped up to create their speedily written masterpieces.

This weekend, you can listen to their freshly baked plays!

Saturday, May 16th at 2:00 pm ALL of the submitted plays will be read back-to-back online. Listen via this link https://www.twitch.tv/wtheatrefestivalnc, then VOTE for your favorite.

A suggested donation of $5 is requested for the afternoon’s entertainment to Paypal.me/wtfestivalnc or via the WTF website.

One Audience Choice play will join four Adjudicator Choices at the Women’s Theatre Festival’s #OccupyTheStage2020 for a reading. I have the honor of working with the playwrights to continue developing their work for that event.

Big thanks to Triangle Bake-Off director Madison McAllister and Johannah Maynard Edwards, Executive Director of the Women’s Theatre Festival for doing the heavy lifting to make this event happen. Congratulations to the playwrights and thanks to the actors and adjudicators for their good work.

#1: WANNA WRITE A PLAY THIS WEEKEND?

THE TRIANGLE BAKE-OFF HAS BEGUN. 

This is a quick and (hopefully stress-relieving) short playwriting competition. There’s a youth category if your kids are looking for something to do – OR – perhaps this will be a way for you to blow off some steam using writing as a tool. 

On Friday, April 3 at 7:00 am, the Women’s Theatre Festival released the list of “secret ingredients” that each script must include. Submissions must be received by 7:00 pm on Sunday, April 5 to beconsidered. 

Here are the ingredients:

#2: WANNA SEE/HEAR ME ON FACEBOOK LIVE? EEEP!

I’LL BE THERE, SUNDAY EVENING.

On Sunday evening after you’ve turned in your play, I’d love for you to hop online and listen to a conversation with me and Lauren Van Hemert of RDU On Stage. 

Lauren has put together an amazing series of guests over the last few weeks, and I’m feeling honored to be included in the line up. We’ll talk about the Piedmont Laureate-ing, writing audio fiction, and parenting during this bonkers time while trying to make art and get things done. (Spoiler alert: life is confetti and what is time). 

We’re scheduled for a Facebook Live event this Sunday, April 5 at 8pm EST. 

Hope to talk to you then!
