One-act-entries sought
Entries are now being accepted for
the 2015 Canton One Acts Festival
scheduled for Jan. 16-18 at the Village
Theater at CherryHill.
The festival, organized by TLC
Productions, is an effort of Tim
Chanko, Linda Pohl and Christopher
Tremblay, all of Canton.
“This festival brings new plays to
the Canton community and Village
Theater at Cherry Hill stage. As aspir-
ing playwrights, we looked for other
venues to submit our one-act musicals,
but there weren't any nearby groups
organizing any competitions or festi-
vals. 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,” the three said in a
prepared release.
TLC is looking for original plays in
length no longer than 15 minutes.
Multiple submissions from a play-
wright are welcomed, however, no chil-
dren's 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 Aug. 31. 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 Oct. 31. In
October, there will be auditions for the
selectedplays.
TLC Productions will award first,
second and third place awards based
on audience votes.
