Update on my own plays

I'll do a quick update on the plays I have written so far, chiefly to the effect that the only news hasn't been positive news, but at least I know ....

One play was submitted for the N.C. New Play Festival, which selects only one play. Mine wasn't it. One play was submitted to an artistic director known by a friend of ours, who might or might not be producing some plays at his center this year; he chose to determine he was not interested. One ten-minute play I wrote and submitted to the Source Festival -- one of some 500-plus that were entered -- was not chosen for the final 18. And one ten-minute play written to a specific theme for an event called the "Seven" (this time, 418 competitors) did not make the Top 22 from which the seven finalists were chosen.

That hasn't stopped finding new or revised places to try to place the play scripts, and there are several other "maybes" that will be answered one way or another by September or so. But for now, no definite productions brewing. Just so you know ....
