4th Annual Festival of Shorts

Many years ago I got to attend the World Premier of Dances with Wolves at the Uptown Theater

in Washington, D.C.  My friend and I sat

right in front of Kevin Costner, his wife, and most of the cast members.  PRICELESS!





Fast forward to 2013 where I eagerly await the July 12-14th

Fourth Annual Festival of Shorts

which is presented by the Driftwood Players in Edmonds, WA @ the Wade James

Theater (950 Main St).  Since our move to

Edmonds in July 2010, my husband and I have been to 16 World Premiers.





The Festival of Shorts

is what I fondly call a “World Premier times

8”
.

Yes indeed, you get to enjoy eight one-act/never performed plays…four before intermission…four

after intermission.   And best of all,

you the audience get to vote on which play is your favorite!





The request for submissions of the plays to be considered

has somehow gone viral on the web.  Each

year the number of submissions grows and now submissions come from all over the

world!  This year our readers had to wade

through 250+ scripts, then narrow them down to just 8.

Directors

and actors vie for a chance to handle truly “new” material.  They will be able to add





to their resume that they were part of a World Premier.





So don’t wait to get your tickets.  The Festival of Shorts only runs for 3 performances:  Friday-Saturday 8pm, and Sunday 2pm.  Cost is only $14/person.
