711 Theatre Project
711 Theatre Project 2010



The 711 Theatre Project is a non-juried competitive theatre festival of 11-minutes plays. There are a lot of short play festivals around the globe - ones where the playwrights submit their plays months in advance. They are perused, judged, critiqued and then only a handful selected for performance. Then starts the rehearsal and production process - lining up directors, auditioning actors, costuming, set-light-sound design, prop wrangling, etc. Finally, after almost a year has gone by from the day the playwrights put the stamp on their submission envelope, the short plays are produced. The 711 Theatre Project does all this in just 7 days!

Free Shakespeare in the ParkFree Shakespeare in the Park
Othello



From the words of Othello himself, tells the tale of this tragic Moor:

“When you shall these unlucky deeds relate,
Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak
Of one that loved not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought,
Perplex’d in the extreme; of one whose hand,
Like the low Judas, threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe; of one whose subdued eyes,
Albeit unused to the melting mood,
Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees
Their medicinal gum.”
Othello, Act V, Scene II

The (Concluding?) Amazing Adventures of Nigel & BridgetteThe (Concluding?) Amazing Adventures
of Nigel & Bridgette



They are back … and for their final(?) season - the 2008 & 2009 sensation returns with their final adventures! Take a fragment of “Fawlty Towers”, a modicum of “Monty Python”, a dash of “Dr. Who”, then liberally mix with women of ABBA, Hypnosis, Dream Worlds, Alien Invaders, Time Waves, Ben Franklin, Cleopatra, Shakespeare, Soul-Swapping, God, and of course Universal Armageddon… and you have our September show: “The (Concluding?) Amazing Adventures of Nigel & Bridgette.” It’s “The Dick Van Dyke Show” meets “The X-Files”… in England.
