Call for Playwrights & Directors for The Whiskey Radio Hour, Episode 29
Submission Guidelines for Directors
Please submit a directing resume, along with a short description of your interest in the radio play format, to whiskeyradiohour@gmail.com by Friday, Jan 17.
-You and your cast MUST be available for a rehearsal with the Whiskey Radio Band on Sunday, March 2 at Oomphotography (4700 N Sacramento) between 12:30pm and 6:00pm. At this rehearsal, our talented Foley artist will work with you and the rest of the band to integrate the Foley cues (which will be performed live) into your show.
-You will be asked to create a Foley cue sheet to communicate your sound needs to our Foley person. (And think big—we’ve done everything from a train going by to a giant space katana.)
-There is no space for large physical objects on the stage. Likewise, the turnover time between radio pieces is extremely small—around thirty seconds. Therefore, setup time must be kept to an absolute minimum.
-A maximum of four actors can be on stage for each play. If your play requires more characters, you’re welcome to double cast or come up with a creative solution.
-The Whiskey Radio Hour will provide up to four music stands for your actors’ scripts. They can be on book.
Each episode of the Whiskey Radio Hour is recorded, and then put on the internet for anyone to download free of charge. To check out past episodes, visit our bandcamp page: https://thewhiskeyrebelliontheatre.bandcamp.com/

Submission Guidelines for Writers
Kindly email whiskeyradiohour@gmail.com with your complete script (in either Word or PDF format) by Friday, Jan 17.
-Only complete scripts will be considered.
-Your play should be around ten minutes long (so read your play out loud before you submit!)
-Your play can be in any genre you like, but try to engage the radio play format in some way.
-We want to HEAR your play, so incorporate more Foley sound effects than just foot steps or doors opening/closing.
-Due to space constraints, a max of four actors can perform in each radio play. Therefore, actors will play multiple roles if there are more than four characters in your piece. If your script has more than four characters, please suggest possible double casting options.
-Each writer can submit up to two radio plays per episode.
-Each episode of the Whiskey Radio Hour is recorded, and then put on the internet for anyone to download free of charge. To check out past episodes, visit our bandcamp page: https://thewhiskeyrebelliontheatre.bandcamp.com/
