I learned last night that my 10-minute play A Point of Honor has now made it to the Finalist cut at for the Lakeshore Players Theatre’s 8th annual 10-Minute Play Festival. That puts it in the top 20 out of over 350 submissions from around the country, and that is plenty to be proud of right there, since I haven’t had much opportunity to pit my work in this area against others up to now. 10 Finalists will be selected for production at the Festival in June – I would get a small amount of money plus a CD of pictures from the show, and all of that would be fantastic, but getting that production credit is crucial in trying to get the play into a publisher’s catalog – which is where you usually want a 10-minute piece to end up.
Winners will be announced on or around the 24th.
I feel, for balance’s sake, I should also report that I had a short story rejected yesterday. It happens.
