Back to regular programming…
The full details for the Short+Sweet theatre festival at the Arts House is now up.
See (here) for the full line-up of 39 excellent plays and 1 half-baked play by a first-time wannabe-playwright that somehow managed to slip through the cracks and get into the Top 40 round.
There are 4 separate programmes, and each programme features 10 plays and these 10 plays will run for 5 consecutive nights per programme.
(My play is under Programme 4, entitled “Short+Salty 2010″. It’s the silliest title of the lot.)
Tickets can be bought (here).
I’ve noticed that there are quite a number of well-known names in the list of 40 playwrights, including people like Verena Tay and Dean Lundquist and Dora Tan, so it’s going to be quite a tough ask to get into the Gala Finals Top 10.
But I’ll remain hopeful nonetheless.
Anyhow, I promised my director I’d send him my music for both the start and the end of the play by last night, which I eventually did…at close to 2am.
Start Music
End Music
As I said before, the music is not going to be taking centrestage.
It merely helps to set the audience up for the play as well as serve as a form of recapitulation at the end of the play.
There’s some rationale behind the way I wrote the music for both the start and the end piece, but you need to understand what the play is about to make sense of it all.
Anyway, my director hasn’t listened to the clips yet so there’s a chance he might not even want to use them at all, haha!
In conclusion, I’m only going to be doing this Short+Sweet thingy once and never again.
It was another one of my crazy ideas to take part in it, and I was really pleased with how everything progressed…but I don’t think I wanna do this again next year.
I wanna start doing some actual work on my musical. =)
[...] first, I would like to see through my ten-minute play first, and see how far it goes in Short+Sweet this [...]
