New Works SHOWCASE at Cool River Pizza & Taphouse Event Room

NEW WORKS SHOWCASE

• Next SHOWCASE: Mon July 15 @ 7 p.m.

A NEW WORK: This is your chance to experience a new work in progress before it premieres, and contribute to its development.

LIVELY: On-script performances by actors (stage readings and/or script-in-hand performances) are far more lively than you might think.

IMAGINATIVE: Our imagination paints the story as the quality actors bring it to life with their voices and characterizations.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE: This is your chance to support local talent and make a difference in the development of a new work.

IF YOU ARE A WRITER: We encourage playwrights, screen writers, novelists, short-story writers and poets to submit their works for consideration for the SHOWCASE (or one of our other programs that supports new works: VAPA Academy, School Tours, Collaboration LAB, Main Season). Host: Matthew D. Heyer - casting@placerrep.org
