Media Director Brandy Joe Plambeck and Artistic Director Joe Bailey of The Ringwald Theatre in Ferndale are sounding a call for new, original one-act plays (with the subject matter of furthering along the storyline to any movie or television series) to be performed at their 8th annual Gay Play Series. The Detroit-area's only LGBT short play festival is striving to provide early-career writers the opportunity to see their work produced, giving them what is oft-needed exposure. Create a situation that has never happened before in that setting with a LGBTQ slant to it. No more than 30 pages. 30 minutes or less. Submissions are due electronically to [email protected] by April 15. For submission details or more information about The Ringwald Theatre at 22742 Woodward Ave., call 248-545-5545 or visit http://www.theringwald.com/.
