PLAYFEST 2021

It’s time to submit your play for PLAYFEST 2021.
There were over 600 views of our 2020 Playfest (Titled PlagueFest) on YouTube.  If you haven’t seen it, click here:  PLAGUEFEST   We haven’t determined just how the 2021 Playfest will unfold.  We can record it on Zoom then transfer it to YouTube (which we did last year) but we are talking May.  Maybe enough people will have their vaccinations and the Grange might be reopened.  We may make a video of a closed performance then transfer the video to YouTube.

http://booksbycarolinemiller.com/musings/our-minds-our-bodies/what-a-piece-of-work-is-man-2/Apophhenis--a tendency to perceive patterns or draw connections that are random or meaningless After nearly fifteen years of successful Playfests a number of issues resulted in the 2019 Playfest being cancelled.  Rather than let the Covid 19 Pandemic Shutdown prevent a Playfest this year, we  decided to find a way to put on the Playfest.

get link So, armed with enthusiasm, gentle prodding from several of our friends and a donation to pay for the commercial version of Zoom, we decided to present several plays from last year’s submissions that could be successfully presented while maintaining social distance.   Several elements, like auditions, sets and sophisticated light and sound had to be eliminated.

http://rosecharities.org/womens-higher-education-sponsorship-rose-nepals-wonderful-buhari-program/ We selected four plays, four playwrights, four directors, eighteen actors and one techie to rehearse and record the plays using the Zoom platform.
