The Competition is open to full-length plays written by both new and experienced playwrights who live on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket. One play will be selected by the judges and presented as a staged reading in June 2009 on the historic Gertrude Lawrence stage as part of Eventide Arts’ 2008-2009 season of plays, concerts and workshops. The winning Competition entry will be awarded the $1,000 Kaplan Prize. Additional support provided by the Marion Jordon Charitable Foundation.

Pinocchio Comes to Life Feb.14-22!
At the Gertrude Lawrence Stage, Eventide Arts presents Pinocchio!
This inventive adaptation of the ageless Carlo Collodi story is loaded with the hi-jinks and fast-pacing of the commedia dell’arte and its zany characters — such as Gepetto, Fire Eater, Fox and Cat, and a wonderful Blue Fairy.
(Presented by special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing, Woodstock, Illinois)

Eventide Arts Presents Watch on the Rhine
Join the Dennis theatre community as Eventide Arts presents a drama by Lillian Hellman, directed by Ellis Baker.
In our political season of the fall of 2008, this play will remind us that the courage to act on our convictions is imperative if our freedom to choose at all is to be preserved. Set in 1940 outside of Washington, D.C., Watch on the Rhine illustrates the impact of impending war on one family as the growing Nazi terrorism of the late 1930′s is about to engulf and ravage Europe. The play’s metaphoric implications for our own times are inescapable … and worth our attention, perhaps more than we’d like.
