Tip Your Waiter Productions invites you to play with us in the first Game of Contact!
On April 20, 2009, we’ll open up the floor, inviting you to become a part of our ensemble, offer you a chance to shape our next piece, and unashamedly display our work in progress.
Act I of The Game of Contact:
You’ll be offered a number of different short plays, skits, and sketches — each no more than 10 minutes long — and will have the opportunity to get up, make quick instantaneous choices, and act. No prep time, no rehearsal, just Contact.
If you’re not acting, you’ll be asked to offer your brief written comments and feedback about the Contact readings. If you’re interested in having something you’ve written become part of The Game of Contact, please feel free to submit it.
Writers: submit your scripts!
Act II of The Game of Contact:
We’d love you to stay and help us steer and shape our upcoming piece, The Meaning of Anthology, about the life and love of William Carlos Williams. Actors will present scraps of what we’ve been working on of The Meaning of Anthology, and we’d love your ideas and discussion about what you see.
