ILWACO, Wash. The Peninsula Players are soliciting submissions for their annual One-Act Festival. All area budding playwrights, and those whove always dreamed of taking on the challenge of writing a play, are encouraged to send in their one-acts for consideration.

The One-Act Festival was created for several purposes:

To use writings submitted by local writers,

To allow people wanting to learn to direct or gain experience,

To allow people learning to act on stage to gain experience; and

To provide entertainment to the community at a reduced cost.

Plays considered for the One-Act Festival should be:

No longer than 30 minutes; shorter plays are also desired.

Each play should have a beginning and an end, forming a story or making a point.

Set design should be kept to a minimum, as each director is responsible for his or her own set design and props.

Writers may choose to direct their own plays. Writers will be allowed to watch all productions for free and receive two complimentary tickets for each performance for the use of their play.

The deadline for submitting a play to be considered for the One-Act Festival is May 1. The One-Act Festival is tentatively set for Aug. 25, 26 and 27.

Send submissions to Peninsula Players, P.O. Box 383, Ilwaco, WA, 98624. Triplicate submission is preferred. For more information, call Robert Lindberg at 360-665-0590.
