Musical Theatre Kids – “The Addams Family” – Fall 2023 Class

August 7, 2023 By

Musical Theatre Kids class – The Addams Family

Wednesday Addams, comically fascinated by the macabre, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. She confides in her father and begs him not to tell mother. Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything changes for the family on the night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Students learn:

…focus, imagination, creation, and theatre games, while rehearsing for a final performance. A fun way to work with other young people! Students have the opportunity to develop theatre and public presentation skills as they rehearse for a production where they make friends and work as a team.

Playwrights–Now Accepting Submissions for “Scenes from the Staten Island Ferry 2024”

July 27, 2023 By

Playwrights- Now Accepting Submissions!

Sundog Theatre in NYC is seeking one-act plays for “Scenes from the Staten Island Ferry 2024”

This is Sundog Theatre’s 22nd annual presentation of
new and original, one-act plays about our favorite boats.
This year’s theme: Things Are Not What They Seem.
Plays can be comedies or dramas. However, humor is always appreciated.

Writing Guidelines:

-Original plays not previously produced or published, with a signed note affirming that.

-10-25 minutes in length and set on the Staten Island Ferry.

-Set in a contemporary time period. Strong priority will be given to plays with 2 characters, however, 3-character plays will be considered. No special set pieces other than benches or railings found on the Ferry, as well as limited and easily accessible props/costumes, and no unusual sound or lighting effects.

-Avoid overt and unnecessary sexual/violence situations and language since we cater to a broad audience.

-No musicals, long monologues, poetry, rants or verse

Submission Guidelines:

Please send two hard copies, bound or stapled, blind submission (removable cover page with title, author and all contact information) with page numbers and the name of the play on each page to:

Sundog Theatre, “Scenes 2024”, PO Box 183, Staten Island, NY 10301.

-Submissions should include brief play synopsis (2-3 sentences at most), a 70-word bio, and a full resume of the writer.

–DEADLINE: Must be postmarked from now through December 15, 2023.

-We are not accepting plays electronically. Reasons: hard copies are easier to pass around/make notes on; protects your work; can’t get lost in email chains; and…easier on reading eyes. We will let you know by email that we have received it.

-NO SUBMISSION FEE

-Questions: info@sundogtheatre.org/Susan Fenley, Producer; Directors TBA. Actor auditions in February/March.

6 plays are chosen by a reading team; writers each receive $200 and plays are produced in five April 2024 performances in Staten Island, NYC. Plays are cast in NYC, rehearsed, and performed on stage.

Playwrights of selected plays will be contacted in January and their names/play titles listed on Sundog’s website in early 2024.
