II. NEW PLANS FOR FOURTH STUDIO SLOT 
    AND SPECIAL PLAYERS MEETING

The GMU Players is happy to announce that the fourth studio
slot (March 28-30) will be filled with a  "Spring Shorts"
festival or sketches, 10-minute plays, and one acts from
several different directors.

This production format will allow many new actors and
directors to participate and will hopefully let the George
Mason theater community see a wide range of exciting,
experimental pieces. 

There will be a proposal process for directors who wish to
participate in the Spring Shorts Festival, with complete
proposals ideally being submitted in early January. 

There will be a special General Players Meeting at 7 pm on
Monday, December 9 in Black Box to discuss the new plans
for the fourth studio slot. Full proposal information will
be available at that time.

If you would like to receive an electronic copy of the
proposal packet when it becomes available, please email
gmuplayers@xxxxxxx or come to the meeting on Monday

More detailed information coming soon. . .
