Authors - we need you
Wed, 29 June 2005, 06:31 pmWe are only weeks away from the launch of a brand new theatre resource in Australia NZ.
If you are tired of paying overseas rights for overdone plays and want to source Australian written and performed plays FREE of rights or at least inexpensive in comparison then this will be for you.
We are currently seeking MORE performed but UNPUBLISHED plays, monologues pantomimes, any theatre art written in Australia or NZ.
So authors please contact us as soon as possible. The main web site will be operating at the beginning of July with the Official launch of Armpit Plays shortly thereafter.
We will be seeking editors and synopsis writers and Theatre consultants in all areas over the coming months. Please wait until we advertise!
You may visit http://www.armpitplays.com or for a more detailed guide to our resource then phone us on 0423 116 114

Thu, 30 June 2005, 02:05 pmObviously you guys don't restrict your 'drama' to the stage! My first time on this site and having experienced amateur theatre and its 'inhabitants' for too many years in my home town, it's obvious that these amateur egos exist everywhere.
As a playwright myself i certainly expect some 'compensation' for the hours or work and the expenses incurred creating a script.
Some people are happy to put their work out there for free and good luck to them and to Alan if he catches some.
I write because it's my passion but passion doesn't pay for paper, power or ink cartridges!
I know i have suffered petty abuse from envious amateurs at the local theatre, who then make good money from my work...so why shouldn't i get some sort of profit from that too?
Actors and Theatres (from Hobart to Hollywood) have to remember that without a script, they have nothing...and most of them wouldn't know how to pick up a pen and even write 'Act one, scene one'.
But, my advice to all is if Alan's 'Armpit' appeals to you, go for it...but if you think Alan's 'Armpit' stinks...quite simply, don't go there!
