Call for Plays, Stories & Poems

We’re calling for comedic and dramatic works for our August 20 evening of staged readings: “Call Me Crazy”! We’re looking for short plays, short stories and poems about the craziest people, situations, and stories…eccentric characters, baffling situations, and unbelievable events…anything that makes you say, “That’s crazy!” We will also consider plays, stories and poems about mental disorders (but please be sensitive). The deadline is July 11 (send to onenightstandtheatre@gmail.com). If we select your work for the show, we offer a small honorarium and 2 comp tickets for the performance (at Vintage Theatre in Aurora, Colorado). You’d be insane not to submit your play, story or poem!
