Dramafest 2012

For the past three summers I have attended Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Center in New York. I could go on and on about how great this place is but that's not what this post is about.

Before attending Stagedoor in the summer, campers have the opportunity to write short plays and send them in to be chosen for the fantastic Dramafest. Dramafest showcases 5 of the many plays that were sent in. These five playwrights that are chosen will have their plays published by Samuel French.

The first day of camp session, the chosen plays are announced and the playwrights choose a cast that they immediately begin rehearsing with. This past summer I was lucky enough to be chosen by Derek Speedy for his play, In Your Wildest Dreams. The show was essentially just mind blowing. One of those shows that makes you really think.

It was an absolutely amazing experience and the script is now published along with the other four plays from the second summer session. (There are 3 sessions over the course of the summer.) The 10 other plays from the other two sessions of the summer are also all in the book shown below!!! So exciting to see my name and the names of my fellow co-actors and directors on the pages of a Samuel French script!! Here it is!
