May 8, 2013 –The Douglas Morrisson Theatre in Hayward proudly announces its second annual playwriting cagematch contest on Monday, June 10, 2013: THE KEYS TO THE HOTEL BARBARY. Five playwrights will enter but only one will emerge victorious! Last year’s “Tales of the Hairless Raccoon” was a wild and wooly success, so this year we decided to make the contest an annual event. Join us as playwrights far and wide square off.
The only requirements for aspiring contributors were that the scenes had to be 20 minutes or less, have no more than four characters, and be set at the fictional Hotel Barbary, a ramshackle basement hotel room in the fictional “Hotel Barbary” of San Francisco. Playwrights were encouraged to come up with creative and elegant back-stories that incorporated the setting into their scenes; the time period, tone, theme or genre was up to their imaginations. All are welcome at the Hotel Barbary!
This year we’ve had entries from all over the U.S., and even two from abroad, and they are still coming in. The theatre’s Artistic Director, Susan E. Evans, with some help from her team, will select the top five submissions, and each one will be allowed one rehearsal. The five scenes will be presented on June 10th at a live staged reading at the Morrisson Theatre, and the audience will decide the winner. Admission for the reading is free, and tokens to vote will be sold for $5.
