GLM Presents
The New Works Initiative
10-10 Minute Play Festival

Two Performances: There will be an evening performance on June 13th and a matinee performance on June 14th.

Auditions: GLM will schedule a date for auditions. Please do not pre-cast. If you have someone in mind, please encourage them to come to auditions. We will announce the date once we have solidified our directors.

Tech: A basic wash (lights) is available for all plays. Sound effects are available. As for the set - basic furniture will be available. We want the written work to speak for itself.

Staging: Within the parameters set above, we believe the directors can enhance the play through staging.

Rehearsal Time and Space: This can get tricky. GLM offers an alternative rehearsal space, apart from mainstage, that will need to be utilized. Please be aware of this and remain flexible, directors.

Writing Workshops and Awards: We are hoping to build the festival with some writing workshops. There will be an awards ceremo ny at the end of the festival to honor the writers. We are so excited to present this 10-10 minute festival to the community.

Dearest Patrons, Community, and Fellow Artists,

Thank you for coming out and supporting GLM’s New Works Initiative Program this season! Our 2019 season saw a fantastic start to producing and promoting original theatre. We hosted two stage reading in August - Chai by DC Cathro and The Goldilocks Zone by Ian August. Still to come is a staged reading of Quantum by Tara Moses. Monessen Falls, by Greg Burdick, was produced in August, and the playwright was in attendance and taught a writing workshop that was sold out. I feel very proud of how our company came together to produce these events and how our community came out to support. This experience was incredibly rewarding on many levels and a welcome challenge on many other levels.

Some exciting things are slated for our 2020 season. Pulled from our writing workshop last August, taught by our visiting playwright, Greg, we have ten writers working on plays for our 10-10 minute play festival in June. Greg’s energy and talent and knowledge was quite inspiring and a true gift. Thank you, Mr. Burdick!

We received over 200 original play submission, nationally and internationally, for our 2020 season. Wow!

August of 2020, once again, will be full of vibrant new work from playwrights across the country. GLM will produce two staged readings. The first is The Wooden Heart by Adam Szymkowicz. The second is Before Lesbians written by Elana Gartner. Both plays are exceptional, and I can’t wait for you to experience them.

Our fully produced new play selection is The Colony by Gina Stevensen. Gina is from NYC and a graduate of Columbia University. This woman is a force, and I am so very proud to be directing this play. Gina will be teaching a workshop, in August, on playwriting that is open and free to the community.

Again, I feel grateful and blessed to meet and work with these writers. And I would like to invite anyone who would like to be a part of GLM’s New Works Initiative to shoot me an inquiry email at Sandra@goodluckmacbeth.org. We will be announcing our call for submission of original work for our 2021 season within the coming months.

We have two more amazing shows left in the 2019 season: Let the Right One In and Mrs. Bob Crachett’s Wild Christmas Binge. See you at the shows!

Big Love,
Sandra Brunell Neace
