We will be auditioning for 6 short plays. 4 of which are by capital region playwrights. The plays will be rehearsed and presented during the Short Play Festival in July. Please bring a one minute monologue and be prepared to read from a script or two. The Short Play Festival will present all 6 plays over the course of 3 evenings. It is a chance for local playwrights, up and coming directors, stage managers, designers, and actors to show what they can do. We are expecting a large turn out for this event, so if you are an actor, director, designer, or stage manager, contact Neil at Confetti Stage or simply attend the audition.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
