YWS Radio Theater: Call for Entries

Elinor · 2014-06-20T01:56:03Z

YWS RADIO THEATER Not officially endorsed by The Young Writers Society You listened to Jamie's Coin and loved it, and now it's time to pick and perform another script! You have three weeks - until July 11th , to submit your 15-25 page radio script for consideration . To submit, email your script as an attachment to elinorbrynn@youngwriterssociety.com. If you win, your script will be performed on a live podcast to take place the weekend of August 15th-17th (exact time TBD) Don't know anything about radio dramas? Here's what the original post has to say. Radio plays - theater without a visual component - were popular in the early 1930s and 40s. As there were no visuals, they had to rely purely on sound to create a compelling story. While they disappeared with the advent of television, radio plays remain to this day a unique and interesting form of storytelling, and today is your chance to dabble in it. Please follow the standard formatting outlined by this article . You don't have to download Celtx for free, but if you do it'll format it automatically for you! More advice from the first post: If you're stuck on ideas, try adapting a short story! This article is a great resource as well. If you're having trouble visualizing the finished product, check out this classic example of a radio drama. Remember that since there are no visuals, the dialogue and the sounds are very important! Good luck, and I look forward to reading your entries!

Any new voices needed? I don't have that cool of a voice, but I would love to be in a radio program.

I will look at the links and see if I can cook something up.
