Howdy Players,
Many, many things are happening this month with the GMU Players.
HALLOWEEN PARTY
That?s right, get ready to party because this years Halloween party is going
to be hot. It will be hosted in the Black Box Theater on OCTOBER 29th from
11pm to whenever the party stops. In all honesty, this party will be as fun
as you make it, meaning, the more people contribute the better time will be
had by all. All the ingredients are there. The choice is yours.
MUSIC: There will be a request list posted on the Lounge bulletin board for
music, but if you would like to donate some hip sounds of your own to add to
the mix, please, do. Variety is the spice of life.
FUN:
Of course there will be plenty of gettin? down and dancing, but we are also
having a piñata, Pin the Tail on the Zombie, and a Jack-o-lantern contest
with categories such as
Best Shakespearean
Most anatomically correct
Drumpkin (drunkest pumpkin)
Fullest of Rage
?or you can make your own category and we?ll probably give you a prize,
because everyone?s a winner.
FOOD: Some food will be provided, but we invite you to cook up your favorite
Halloween treat and bring it to the party. Who knows, maybe you will get a
prize.
COSTUMES ARE MANDATORY. Might I get a prize if my costume kicks a$$? Darn
tootin you will!
There is also plenty of opportunity for performance if anyone is interested.
A few years ago, Sky Adams did ?Theatre de la Grotesque? which was a
fabulous Halloween improvisation sketch. If you have a brilliant idea that
you would like to see happen, or would like to help out, contact Steve
Fillmore at wfillmor@xxxxxxxx
FALL SHORTS FESTIVAL:
The time is now, for submissions to the Shorts Festival. Applications are
available in the Theater Office (4th Floor of the Performing Arts Building).
Turn them in by NOVEMBER 12th at 5pm, in the GMU Players Mailbox, also in
the Theater Office. The Line-up will be announced within a week of this
date. Auditions will be held November 22nd, and performance dates are
scheduled for December 17th, 18th, and 19th each at 8pm.
This is your chance to show off your skills. See your writing brought to
life on stage; take a stab at directing, overcome stage fright with the
chance to perform in a no pressure situation. It?s a great way for all of
you commitment fearing peeps to meet new people and get involved with the
Players community. Playwrights, if you?d like to see your play produced,
but aren?t ready to take on the role of director, submit it anyway. There
may be some directors out there floating around, looking for an inspiring
new piece to undertake.
