100 Mile Performing Arts Society is sponsoring its first “Play Development Session” at the Community Employment Services building (Horton Ventures), 808 Alpine Ave., on Feb. 20 from 1 to 4 p.m.
Performing Arts spokesperson Kathy Wolczuk says the event is going to be an informal brainstorming event.
“We are inviting the public and all interested parties to come out and talk about plays.”
She says the session is for people who have an idea for a play they would like to bring forward.
“Bring the script or a synopsis of the play and let’s talk about it. Bring a title and we’ll look it up.”
Wolczuk adds they would like to receive feedback on plays the society has done in the past, and a feeling about whether it’s doing enough plays
“What are your thoughts as to types of plays that our community is most interested in seeing?”
She notes they are looking for people who are interested in getting involved with the society in some capacity – even in a small way.
“This is not meant to be a formal Pitch-a-Play, where you, as a potential director, bring your play to the Society, with the intention of our sponsorship for the upcoming season – that would be an entirely different event,” Wolczuk explains.
“For this session, we want to gather as many ideas as people want to talk about, without any expectations or decisions made at this time.”
There will be two short sessions, with a light refreshment break midway through. There is no charge to attend.
Folks who would like more information about the event can call Wolczuk at 250-395-8836.
