If you have been out of the loop, here is the down low.
Telluride Theatre asked local playwrights to submit short original plays, approx. 3-5 min in length. There were SIXTEEN submissions and Telluride Theatre can’t wait to share them with the everyone.
“We wanted to do something that would be morale boosting for our artists as well as involve the whole community,” said Sasha Sullivan, artistic director for the Theatre.
Telluride Theatre’s Shelter in Play(ce) Festival has taken the resourceful collaboration of over 50 people working through various hurdles of safely casting, filming and producing each play.
As of Tuesday, May 5, Telluride Theatre plans to release two plays per day in a sweet sixteen style bracket and then is asking audiences to vote for their favorites until the company has narrowed it down to a final winner.
The winning playwright will receive a pack of Charmin toilet paper and their original production will be performed live, pre-show at one of Telluride Theatre’s future performances.
