TELL US YOUR SUCCESS STORIES!
If one of your PCSF plays (staged or developmental reading, Sheherezade, Plays in a Daze, or PCSF PlayOffs) has gone on to a theatre or festival reading or production or had professional publication or went on to an award,
let us know and we'll feature you on this
page! E-mail the PCSF Newsletter with the following information:
- SUBJECT: PCSF Success Story
- Play title
- Developmental or staged reading dates
- Production/publishing dates
- Production location
- Production/publishing company
Both present and past members are eligible for this page. Your play must have had a PCSF staged or developmental reading or production prior to being scheduled for the new reading or production.
Do you have a reading, production, publication or award for a play that didn't have a PCSF reading or production? Current members can e-mail the PCSF Newsletter with the information for a plug (local) or shout-out (remote).
