RAT City Theater 10-Minute Play Festival (more info this time)




Hello all, once again --

You can get rid of the other email I sent earlier tonight. Sorry,
I shouldnt have done it while I was rushing. By popular request,
this email will have ACTUAL INFORMATION! (Instead of just telling
you that actual information is available, but you have to go
look for it!)

So once again --

Hi all -- 
 
Just want to let everyone know that we have finally finished
selecting plays for the 2001 Delaware 10-Minute Play Festival.
We got over 400 submissions, about three times as many as other
years, so the process took a lot longer, but we finally have
a full 25-play week-long slate. For those of you from the rat
list, several of the selected playwrights scurry among you. The
festival is July 23-27, Monday through Friday, and it includes
24 playwrights (including two plays from Philadelphia's own Alex
Dremann), 13 directors and 40-50 actors. Selected plays came
from Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Maryland,
Minnesota, Indiana, Texas and California. Submissions came from
as far away as Canada, Great Britain, Norway and Israel.

Here's the schedule and other pertinent info:
