Aloha Performing Arts Company

Aloha Performing Arts Company has announced its request for scripts for the

12th annual Original Play Festival,

which will be presented August 17-21, 2005. Scripts of any length and on any subject will be accepted through postmark date May 27, 2005.

Entries should be typewritten, double spaced, bound, with sequentially numbered pages including a list of characters and a brief description of the play. Three copies of each script, including the character list and description, are requested to expedite the selection committee's evaluation process. Scripts should NOT contain the playwright's name. A separate cover sheet with the play's title and the playwright's name, address, phone number, and email address should be included, so that anonymity is possible in evaluation and selection. Musical entries must be accompanied by three performance quality casette tapes or CDs with voice tracks.

The plays chosen will be mounted as staged readings, with minimal rehearsal and simple technical presentation. Musicals will be presented concert style. All entry materials should be sent to: APAC OPF XII, P.O. Box 794, Kealakekua, HI 96750. The committee's official selections will be made and notifications sent by late June; auditions for actor/readers will be held in July; rehearsal will be conducted from mid July to mid August; and the festival will be presented Wednesday through Sunday, August 17-21, 2005. For more information, call APAC artistic director Jerry Tracy at 808-322-9924.
