Hi playmakers and supporters -

We're canceling this Monday's event on 3/16 at 7:30. Even thought we're small, we prefer not to put anyone at risk. Please hold April 13, though. Any of our presenters wishing to be rescheduled to this date are welcome, and if we have an abundance of presenters, we shall add another date to our season. Wishing you and yours health & humor.

There is one slot open for Playmakers next week on Monday, March 16. We had fun last month with the exquisite co**se experiment, so why not try it again? Before next week, I need three volunteers to write a max five minute part of an exquisite co**se piece with a Women's History Month prompt.

1. First piece (no more than 5 pages/minutes): Must have two characters (any identity).
Must end with the line "That's what the other eleven months are for."

2. Second piece (no more than 5 pages/minutes): Must have two characters (any identity).
Must start with the line "That's what the other eleven months are for."
Must end with the phrase "one hundred years".

3. Third piece (no more than 5 pages/minutes): Must have two characters (any identity).
Must start with the phrase "one hundred years".

Bring two (or three if you'd like stage direction read aloud) copies of the piece, and feel free to cast it and bring your actors, or we can cast it on the spot.

Any takers?
