| | Write Angle Productions is a nonprofit organization devoted to supporting playwrights and developing new scripts for production. Our plan is to have a space of our own so we can produce the plays written by the members. Most theaters are developed by producers, artistic directors, or actors, but not playwrights. We are trying to correct this oversight. The play is the foundation of the theatre, and so, a theatre developed by playwrights is a direction often overlooked.

The Edge Theatre Company @ the e-project is excited to announce our new program to highlight the works of local playwrights.
"ON YOUR FEET" is a new monthly workshop process that brings playwrights, directors, and actors together to read and
lightly stage three to eight scenes based on the playwright's submissions and the number of actors and directors in attendance.
Directors have 1.5 to 2 hours to bring the scenes to life before we gather to share the scenes with each other.
The objectives of "ON YOUR FEET," are as follows:
To build a creative home for playwrights, directors, and actors.
To develop new plays with the intention of moving them into staged readings and full length productions.
To explore relationships with new playwrights, directors, and actors.
ACTORS: Attach a resume and headshot
DIRECTORS: Attach a resume
PLAYWRIGHTS: Please forward your entire script, noting which scene you would like to present (about 10-15 pages)
to theedgesubmissions@gmail.com
All participation is free and artists are encouraged to invite friends and family to the performances at 5pm, which are also free!
For more information, email: Angela Astle
