Playing French Seattle 2010

Plans are now underway for our next festival of plays in French. I hope you can participate in 2010. Beginning on Monday, September 27th we will meet weekly each Monday, starting at 6 pm, at University Heights (University Way and 50th) to read and select scripts, audition, cast and rehearse the shows and readings.

On the table right now are fifteen short plays and adaptations found in a 1919 anthology by Victor E. Francois, thus the working theme of the festival "Fifteen Plays in Fifteen Days!" The last play in this little book is an adaptation of Molière's "Le Médecin Malgré Lui," (see character list below) to be followed by a new one act ("...Malgré Lui") presently in draft.

If you would like to work on this year's festival, as an actor, crewperson, supertitler, box office worker, usher, marketer, or otherwise volunteer, please come to the first meeting on Monday, September 27th at 6 pm (University Heights Center, room 109).

I will be in travelling through the south of France from September 12th - 23rd, so I may be a little slow in responding to messages, but please be assured that there's still lots of room for fresh talent and ideas!

I hope you will contact me with suggestions and to confirm your participation.

à bientôt,

thanks Pierre, we are off and running and are now focused on finding someone to play the lead role in Molère's brilliant comedie.
Here's the note:

Playing French Seattle will be staging Molière's "Le Médecin Malgré Lui" during its 2010 festival of plays in French (November 7th - 21st, Ethnic Cultural Theatre). We are meeting at University Heights Center (50th and University, room 109) this Monday October 4th to begin casting decisions. No parts are precast; we are especially seeking a male french speaking actor for the lead role of Sganarelle.

There are many other ways to join Playing French Seattle and work on this year's festival. Come to the meeting on October 4 with questions and suggestions, or contact me at Libchase@aol.com
