Be Scene 2022 will follow SCP’s Covid guidelines.  Be sure to bring vaccine card, ID and face mask.  

What is Be Scene?
• A night of scenes, acting, friends, and fun!
• Choose a scene or a monologue and submit it to bescene at civicplayers.org for consideration.(Preference will be given to scenes this year to give as many people as possible an opportunity to be on the boards.)
• A scene selection committee will be reviewing all submissions and creating a program based on time and variety.
• The contact people for selected scenes will be notified by phone or email. Please indicate your preferred contact method when submitting scenes.
2022 Schedule (note mandatory dates): 
Preview of Selected Pieces​Date and Time - TBA
ONE Tech/Dress (mandatory) for all participants on Friday, June 10th at 7:00pm.
Performance on Saturday, June 11thth at 7:30PM(Mandatory call is 6:30PM)

Here are the rules:
• Groups may consist of one actor performing a monologue or multiple individuals with or without a director. Preference is going to scenes this year.  
• If you submit a monologue, we recommend 3-5 minutes in length.
• Submitted scenes should be no more than 8-10 minutes in length.  This limitation is critical.  Please mind the maximum length.
• Set pieces will be strictly limited. There will be four 4-legged chairs and three small side tables.
• Props must be managed and carried by actors. 
• Space will be limited, so not all scenes may be selected. 
• All participants will be responsible for their own rehearsals and production needs. Set, lights, sound and costumes should be kept to a minimum; ideally, scenes will focus on the actors and their work.
• Original works will be considered.
• At this time musical numbers will not be accepted.
