General Programming for the Works Weekend

Dear Indiana playwright:

I am pleased to serve as the Chair of the '08 WORKS. Through your evaluations and a redefinition of ITA's mission, the weekend has been redesigned to assist as many playwrights as possible on multiple levels. Membership is required to submit; it is, after all, an organization just for us.

I am excited that Playwrights' Exchange Rooms will be staffed with a qualified dramaturge or director to moderate discussions following cold readings of selected NUMEROUS new scripts. These playwrights may rewrite and, hopefully, have additional readings to improve and grow their scripts over the weekend.

All actors attending will have the unique opportunity to participate in the cold readings-a singular experience in the development of new scripts which usually happens at the professional level.

In addition, two scripts (one acts or full-lengths) will be selected and workshopped in their entirety throughout the weekend with the benefit of a dramaturge (if secured). We look forward to exploring a strong, future support program with possible productions for these two shows.

So please read our new submission guidelines carefully, and start sending your scripts in! Our early deadline reflects the need for adequate and quality time to make selections.

RUTH TYNDALL BAKER, CHAIR `08 ITWORKS!
I welcome your phone calls: (260) 422-3486.

The Rachel McGeever Fund
in association with the
Indiana Theatre Association
Presents

"Indy Playmakers Do It Again"

The Rachel McGeever Fund was established in 2007 to provide Indiana playwrights a venue for production of their short plays. At this time the Fund is focused on producing plays generated by the Indy Playmakers, an Indianapolis-based writers group that meets the first Monday of every month at the Writing Center in the Broad Ripple Arts Center. The structure of the funding program allows production of plays every other year starting in 2008.

In October 2007, the Indy Playmakers were asked to submit plays up to fifteen minutes in length. For this submission period, each playwright was allowed to submit two plays. Twelve plays were received from nine different playwrights. Three local judges reviewed the plays and eight were chosen for production:

Playwright Play
Alice Caroline The Insiders
Madge Dishman Peonies
Greg H. Ellis Cargo
Claudia S. Labin Wind
Charles R. (Bob) McClure Love on the Vine
Pat McGeever The Silver Medallion
Robert Morse Inventory Time
  Establishing Parameters

This year's event is called "Indy Playmakers Do It Again" and will be performed at the Oaklandon Civic Theatre. Performance dates are March 28-30 and April 4-6. Friday and Saturday performance times are 8:00 p.m. while the Sunday matinees are at 2:30 p.m. The theatre is located within the Oaklandon Unitarian Universalist Church at 6450 Oaklandon Road. Call 317-823-4761, ext. 3 for more information and for reservations.
