Calling all playwrights!

Posted by

If the pandemic taught us nothing else at Gabriola Players it was that we have an incredible amount of writing talent on this island. The scripts for all four of our online shows – Don’t Pan(dem)ic, Spring Forward and Christmas Crackers 1 and 2 – were all local.

As we gear up for our first live in theatre production since March 2020 (our always popular One-Act Play Festival in late spring), we are hoping to harness that talent once again.

If you have a one-act play you’d like us to consider, please send it.

There are some provisos.

Plays can be as short as 15 minutes or as long as 45, but they should not involve more (preferably less) than four characters. Staging limitations at the Rollo Centre should be factored into the script and, whilst it’s not a deal breaker, favour is likely to be given to plays to which a director is already attached.

Scripts should be submitted no later than March 15 to gabriolaplayers@gmail.com.
