Play Selection ‘Committee’
A Note from the Vice President:
To all participating members of the Jackson Theatre Guild; please be advised of yet another way you can be part of the active life of the Guild. Have you read a good play? Have you heard about a good play? We are always looking for people to read and evalute plays.
Its very simple, choose a play that sounds interesting, read it and write up a brief summary if you think its a play that the our group could successfully produce. The Theater Guild has a Library of plays to chose from or we can order plays from several sources online. MaryCat will be happy to order any play you might be interested in.
Here are the things to keep in mind when evaluating a play:
1) Cast size and diversity
2) Set requirements (Billy is a miracle worker but some sets are beyond even him ..and our budget.
3) Relative mass appeal…this one is a bit subjective, but we would like plays that more rather than fewer people would be interested in seeing.
These summaries should be written to be shared with all our members and posted on the JTG website blog. This will help Billy & all our various directors as we plan future productions.
If you are interested, please find a play, write a summary and get involved.

I just got back from seeing Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (Playhouse on the Square in Memphis). It was a terrific production - very easy set requirements. While it might upset the ‘Blue Hair’ crowd, the play premiered in 1955. You’d think we could do it in Jackson in 2007.
Smallish cast (really only two male roles of note and three females) but it certainly has ‘name appeal’. Just a thought.

You should take a look at Robert Patrick’s classic KENNEDY’S CHILDREN…small cast, easy set ( bar interior)…play is having revivals in NYC, New orlenas, LA etc and getting rave reviews…lots of info on the web and Patrick has recently been featured in several new history of american theatre books. —A crowd gathers in a bar and delves into their diverse lives. some meaty roles!—could be done in almost any venue.

Kennedy’s Children is terrific. Tony nominated…saw it on Broadway many years ago and then saw it staged in a pub years later. What a good idea!
