This Festival will take place January 13-15, 2017 at the Village Theater at Cherry Hill in Canton, MI. It is the fourth biennial Canton One Acts Festival.
“This festival brings new plays to the Canton community and Village Theater at Cherry Hill stage. As aspiring playwrights, we looked for other venues to submit our one-act musicals, but there weren't any nearby groups organizing any competitions or festivals. Since we have been afforded the opportunity to present our new works at The Village Theater, we wanted to provide a process, venue and event to showcase other emerging playwrights of plays and musicals as well as to aspiring directors.” – Quote from TLC Productions
TLC is looking for original plays in length no longer than 12 minutes. Multiple submissions from a playwright are welcomed, however, no children shows will be considered. For a list of complete guidelines and for information on the judging process, go to cantononeacts.com.
The deadline for works is August 31, 2016, or until the first 50 scripts are received. In October, TLC will present dramatic readings of the semi-finalists’ scripts. Selected shows for the One-Acts Festival will be announced online at cantononeacts.com by October 31, 2016. In October, there will be auditions for the selected plays. Playwrights can request to direct their own show if show is selected or TLC Productions will appoint a director. Preference will be given to aspiring directors.
From the submissions, approximately 3-5 will be selected for staging. TLC Productions will award a first place award with a $100 cash prize based on audience votes.
The Canton One Acts Festival is organized by TLC Productions and offered in partnership with The Village Theater at Cherry Hill. TLC Productions was founded by Tim Chanko, Linda Pohl, and Christopher Tremblay.
