Hello fellow Thespians! Welcome to my contest that travels backstage to the real action! Long have I been involved in plays and musicals, and have known the emotions that an actor and stagehand experience. However, that it not what this contest is about. I'll provide some ideas, you can take them or leave them, but either way, make those curtains rumble!
~Ideas for those who need inspiration~
1. Write from the point of view of your favorite character from the play of your choosing. Write in author notes the name of character and play please.
2. Write a new song for a well known musical. In author notes, include the name of the musical.
3. Write about what happens after the play ends. Continue the stories of the main characters. In author notes, include the name of the play and characters.
4. When the curtain closes....
Overall, have fun! Be creative! And don't forget to break a leg!

I shake the hands of all of you, / I choke back the tears of parting. / Spouting a farewell to our kinship, / While the curtain calls are starting. / We enter as we were told / We bow once more fby Andrew Bernau 22 lines, 1 comment, on Jul 28 7:13 PM 2007. In Friendship, Theater
