Form for Submitting a Citation

If you have small-cast one-act scripts of which you are proud, please submit citation(s) here to advertise them. Together, we can foster new productions. Please note that "small-cast" means roles for four or fewer actors (with possible extras or doubling). Citations of shows requiring larger casts do not suit this Website.

Complete the following form as fully as possible. Particularly, be precise about e-mail addresses or URLs. An e-mail address is required (and should be kept current by notifying the Webmaster of changes).

For those using browsers that do not support forms such as this, send the information via postal mail to Dr. Lewis W. Heniford, P. O. Box 299, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, 93921 or via e-mail to heniford@ix.netcom.com.

Type within each block the requested information. Try not to skip a block.

If you have a one-act script using four or fewer actors (with possible extras), please complete and submit the following form. Citations will be encoded on a first-come, first-served basis. Please be patient, but if more than a week passes, contact the Webmaster by e-mail.

Plot and comment annotations by citer or author are optional but are highly useful; they might include plot description, theme analysis, production history or general comments, that is, any helpful relevant information.

Toward that end, synopses and comments are expansible to 200 words per citation. The user needs you to give sufficient clear information on which to base decisions about your script. The synopsis best gives an event-by-event progression of actions. The comment best advises the potential producer/director/actor/teacher about staging considerations and gives a production history (if any and if desired). Admittedly, these annotations are infomercials, but above all they should be truthful and helpful, as if the writer were speaking to a respected theatrical colleague.

Dramatis Personae, _____ (_), __, _____ (specify name of each character and tag each clearly by gender and age and identity.

Synopsis, 100-200 words (supply an event-by-event account of the action; name characters clearly)

Comment, 100-200 words (number of scenes, frequency of changes, complexity, special requirements, production history, short biography of playwright, name playwright's Website address if appropriate, and such)

Themes, up to ten keywords or key phrases (each separated by a comma, for electronic searching and for matching shows in order to construct a playbill)
