The SWCC Drama Club truly enjoyed performing the seven faculty/student written plays submitted last semester. Because of the success during this venture, we are pleased to announce that Stephen Jefferies will be once again be spearheading this fall project.
Jefferies has set the deadline for play submissions to be Fri., September 23, 2016. Plays can consist of no more than five characters (there is lee-way here, but for the sake of time five characters per show is helpful), and be no longer than 10 minutes in length (again, this can be stretched, but it would be ideal to stick this this short format). It would be helpful if the plays were written envisioning one set, but this can be worked with as well.
Submissions may be e-mailed to
This year the plays will be performed for two nights: Thurs., November 17, and Fri., November 18. In order to embrace the feeling of Thanksgiving, entrance into these performances will be a free-will offering of a non-perishable food item or toiletries. These items will be donated to students at SWCC who are in need, and then passed on to local food pantries.
You do not have to be a writer to submit a play! Try your best! Playwrights are left anonymous on the playbill, unless they specifically state that it is okay to publish their names. There will be no themes for these short plays, so let your imaginations carry you!
Thank you for supporting SWCC Drama Club, and we look forward to producing your work!
