And the verdict...

Talked to the director of my Short and Sweet - Singapore entry. The performance went well. All of the plays in my group were performed twice, since the first performance completely sold out. The actors and the director apparently did a great job bringing the silly words I wrote to life.

There are a couple of different judging categories.
Out of the 10 plays that were performed alongside of mine, I tied for third in the judges voting. This is better than I expected since the judges were actual theater people, and I'm as new to this as can be. However, there's a People's Overall Choice where audience members vote for the best play out of all of the groupings. In that, I came in second.

So the people paying for the tickets like me a lot. I wish I could have seen it. After trading emails back and forth with the director, I could tell that she and her actors were having a ball (and working their butts off) putting this thing on stage.

Go Team.

Holy crap! Nice job, dude.

See? You're good at this playwriting thing. You gonna enter something in the one in Melbourne?

"Short & Sweet is the biggest festival of short theatre in the world. Held annually in Sydney, Melbourne and now Singapore, the Festival has staged nearly 400 plays, watched by 18,000+ people."

And you got second place as viewers choice and third as judges choice.

Now... will you please stop complaining about how much you suck as a writer? :)

Yeah, dude. KYLE is the one that sucks.

Sweet deal, man. We can at least assure the audience that the Two One Acts will be at least half-decent.
