Hopeful Directors - Dec. 13 Last Chance to Pitch Your Play

Saturday, Dec.13 is your last chance to pitch the TCT Production Committee a play you’d like to see.

The Tehachapi Community Theatre is taking proposals for plays to be produced in the next season (2015-2016) and the public is invited to come and give us your input! The new season will include 4 main stage, 1 children/teen, 2 black box and 2 possible workshop productions (if applicable). If you missed the November two-day Pitch event your final chance for presentation will be Saturday, Dec.13, 2014 between 2 and 5 p.m.

This is the last opportunity for directors to showcase and submit their play of choice, as well as any local or new playwrights, who may not wish to direct, to submit their own works. The Pitch is your opportunity to sell the production committee and membership on why a particular play should be produced at the BeeKay by the Tehachapi Community Theatre group.

Come to TCT Second Space, 431 West J. Street, Tehachapi on Saturday, Dec. 13 between 2 and 5 p.m.

All prospective directors must be prepared to present the following:

• All pitches/proposals must be submitted with a full and complete script.

• A synopsis of the play.

• What the play is truly about; the real theme.

• Is the play relevant or timely and does it still work with the modern and/or younger audience?

• Will it play well with our local theatergoers?

• Tell us how you envision the stage set, lighting, costumes.

• Include any challenges and solutions to presenting on our stage keeping in mind BeeKay limitations.

• A scene or partial scene from the production should be presented allowing us all to get a sense of the play.

• Each pitch will have a maximum 20 minutes, plus 10 minutes for questions from the committee and the public.

Playwrights submitting a play must also meet all of the above criteria and show us a live scene, director or not. Come prepared and enthusiastic.
