Southeastern Appalachian Repertory Theater in Mars Hill, North Carolina sponsors a ScriptFEST each year. Playwrights from all over the country submit plays and they are read by a variety of people. Each is rated on various criteria. I was a reader two years ago, but since I was traveling out of the country, I didn't read last year. I am going to read this year, however. I picked up my first two plays today and am excited about reading them.
In January four of the top contenders from last year were produced as readers' theater where the actors sit in front of the audience and read the scripts aloud. The four plays were varied and interesting. This was open to the public and turned out to be a fun activity for a snowy January weekend.
I'll let you know as the summer progresses how my reading is coming and will update you on the finalists next fall as they are chosen and the winner when it is produced as a stage play.
