Oregon Thespians...REGIONALS AND PLAYWRITING OPPORTUNITIES!

 As most of you know, we are also members of Oregon Thespians, our statewide organization of theatre schools and a part of the International Thespians organization.  This means a fantastic number of opportunities to do your thing among your peers across the state!

Two of our biggest opportunities of the year, at least for our community, are coming up soon:

1) The Regional Acting Competition.  Regionals registration starts this weekend for anyone who wants to be involved in presenting their acting work virtually to their peers and for adjudication.  There are a number of categories you can participate in, and everything is student-driven this year, so you can decide to enter on your own and carry it from there.  This is a great chance to have your work seen by folks that know the work!  Details are online at https://www.oregonthespians.org/regionals

2) The Playwriting Competition.  Oregon Thespians also offers the opportunity for writers from across the state to have pieces read and critiqued by highly knowledgable theatre types! Writers who submit also have the possibility of having their work invited to produce at (virtual) State!  We've had a lot of great voices take part in this, and it'd be great to have folks take part in this again.  Details at https://www.oregonthespians.org/state-festival under 'Playwriting'.

The bad news is that time is short on these...they're coming up soon.  Take a sec to check out the opportunities and see if they are right for you.  Hope some of you throw your hats in the ring!
