SUMMARY:Overnight Sensations

Six playwrights are randomly paired with six directors\, who are then draw from a hat one of six casts made up of six actors. Then they draw random prompts to find out what the genre\, theme\, and location will be. The writers write all night\, share their work with the director over breakfast and make revisions\, then they share the plays with the actors at 11 am over lunch\, and rehearse from noon to 5 pm\, when they do a cue to cue\, set levels\, and open the doors for the audience at 7:30 pm\, Saturday night\, so that we can share what we’ve done with all of you!\n\nThis year\, as last year\, we’ll be doing this jointly produced event of the Hollins-Mill Mountain Theatre Partnership on the main stage of the Hollins University Theatre. Join us\, won’t you?\n\nAlways FREE and open to the public! No tickets or reservations necessary.

Though preferred\, you do not have to be memorized. Email us to request a five- minute slot. You may request a time\, but in order to have the audition run as efficiently as possible\, we will also be assigning times based on availability.\n\nSend your request for an audition slot to Gwyneth Strope (stropegm1@hollins.edu). Please put UNIFIED AUDITIONS in the subject line.\n\nUnless specifically indicated that you would prefer not to be\, all auditioners will be listed on the Roanoke Actors and Directors Facebook Page to help facilitate casting of local actors by area theatres throughout the year. Everyone who auditions will also be photographed on the day of the audition by our archive photographer\, so that we have both your photograph and a record of what you looked like on the day of the audition.\n\nAll requests for audition slots must be received no later than June 12!\n\nIf you have any other questions or don’t have email and would still like to audition\, please call Gwyneth Strope\, the Hollins Theatre producing manager at 540-362-6313. Actors who audition will be entered into our database and may be contacted to be readers or performers in all of our summer events\, including lab readings and Overnight Sensations.

SUMMARY:No Shame Theatre
DESCRIPTION:No Shame Theatre is an experiential performance lab where writers\, performers\, and audience are constantly changing roles. Anything can happen and usually does in this late-night venue for original work. We take the first 15 pieces to walk in the door and there are only three rules: pieces must be original (no copyright violations)\, short (five minutes or less)\, and not break anything (including the law). Inside those rules you can do pretty much anything you’re interested in trying in front of a live audience—plays\, monologues\, songs\, dance\, poetry\, mime\, juggling\, comedy\, tragedy\, improvisation\, dada\, magic—we’ve even seen people do floral arrangements! Pieces are accepted starting at 10 p.m.\, doors open at 10:30 p.m.\, and the show starts at 11 p.m.\, running on average an hour and a half. Admission: free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Lab Readings
DESCRIPTION:July 26: I Am a Black Woman by Allana Pommier\nNew location: Talmadge Recital Hall\, Bradley\n\nThese readings\, which are early drafts of student-written plays\, are presented as part of the Playwright’s Lab course. The reading is followed by a two-tier feedback session. The first tier is based on the Liz Lerman Critical Response\, with the playwright taking notes on audience reactions to things that worked\, questions they feel are still unanswered\, things that didn’t work as well as the strengths we identified earlier\, and questions that the playwright might have. The second tier of feedback is closed\, and only students registered for the course and faculty attend. This session is less structured\, and playwrights can engage with commenters directly. In this way\, students are exposed to both kinds of feedback so that they have a nurturing environment as well as preparation for the more raw responses one could encounter in a review or blog comments.

SUMMARY:Overnight Sensations
DESCRIPTION:Since 2006\, the Playwright’s Lab at Hollins has partnered with Mill Mountain Theatre to present a micro-brewed theatre festival. On Friday night six playwrights are randomly paired with six directors\, who then randomly draw from a hat a variety of writing prompts and a preselected cast of local actors. Before 9 a.m. the next morning\, they have to write a 10-minute play. They meet with their directors over a continental breakfast on Saturday morning and make any last-minute changes before the actors arrive and the plays begin rehearsal. When 8 p.m. rolls around\, and the audience are in their seats\, the show begins!
