Workshop Production of One Act Plays

The Oakville Players will be holding its Workshop Production of One Act Plays on June 1^st and 2^nd, 2012. This is an open call for directors to submit works to be considered for production.  Anyone who would like to direct, or has written a play, is invited to send their submission and resume to vptraining@oakvilleplayers.Chosen works should have a running time of less than 45 minutes.  Deadline for submissions is April 22^nd, 2012.

This is a great opportunity for anyone to try their hand at, or gain more experience in, directing or for a budding playwright to try out a script they have developed.  We will also be looking for some help in producing, stage managing, and all other aspects of production.  So if you would like to dabble in community theatre this is a great opportunity to give it a try in front of a very supportive audience and without the major time commitment required of a full-length play.

Watch out for further information on our 2012/2013 Season

Synopsis: Comedian and national treasure Dave Thursby has died, and on the day of his funeral friends and colleagues gather by his coffin to pay their last respects. His glamorous young widow has arranged a funeral to remember (complete with a horse-drawn hearse and an attendant dog), when an unfamiliar woman turns up, who turns out to be Dave's ex-wife from before he was famous. There follows a series of revelations about his dubious past and recent philanderings, and as the play moves towards the disposal of the ashes more truths are revealed, seeming to indicate Dave is having the last laugh, even from beyond the crematorium.
