It's that time again! The 4th Annual HURRICANE SEASON will blow through Los Angeles July 27th to August 19th 2007 |
We are proud to present the 4th Annual HURRICANE SEASON, a new works festival and playwright's competition. Each of the first three weekends of HURRICANE SEASON will feature a new program of one-act plays that have never been produced before. The fourth weekend will be a re-staging of the first three weekend favorites. The plays will be selected by members of the Eclectic Company Theatre for a professional production. At the end of each program, the audience will cast their votes for their favorite play of the evening. A cash prize of $100 will be awarded each weekend to the playwright who receives the most audience votes. A “play-off” will be held the fourth weekend with the top three audience favorites competing for an additional $400, making the Grand Prize for the festival a total of $500.
