Lewis,

I'm getting a heck of a lot more referrals from the Small-Cast Guide than my own website, that's for sure. Happy New Year!

By the way, your website led to two actual paying productions this year. (I get a lot of requests from students who want to do the plays for free.)

Thanks,

Dear Lewis,

Please know that my play GOOD GIRL was found on your website by the Artistic Director of the Alberta High School of Fine Arts (Canada) and produced in June, 2004 at their Fringe Festival. I also continue to receive requests for the play from high school and college students here in the US and overseas.

Thank you so much again for your wonderful website!

Always,

Lewis,

This 'thanks' is late in coming. I listed my one-act (Break Up) many many years ago . Four or five times a year I get requests for production rights - and it's been produced at least a dozen times. Lately, I practically define myself as a 'playwright'....

Lewis,

I have said it many times before, and I will continue to say it. This is an extraordinary resource, for playwrights and all theatre artists. Only a dedicated and accomplished writer ---who can also not only see the large picture but organize and manage it (!) could do this. You are a treasure to us all.

Hi Lewis Just to let you know that the success of your website continues to touch people. A student from North Wales asked for and directed/performed my "Angel Hair" for a finals exam. She seemed happy from the experience and we have kept in touch through email. In the same month a Mexican academic, subject to a government grant, is translating "Changes" into Spanish for a Contemporary Plays in the English Language book. Both found me through your site. The world shrinks before the power of small cast theatre.

As a result of the Small Cast One Act Guide Online, "The Audition" is receiving its first production in quite some time. Thanks for making it available to potential producers.

I use the site as a reference for our directing students; I don't know if any of them have found any thing there to produce, but time is on our side.

Hello again. Last September you were kind enough to add my play "Field Work" to your guide. It has since won an award and been produced. Last week I received an email from a director wanting to produce it as part of a one-act festival. She found me on your site. It will be my first production where I will receive a royalty.

I wanted to thank you for providing this great service. I recommend it to all of my playwright friends.

Bakers Plays will publish two of my newest plays, The Guyer Girls [which is listed on your site as a one-act] in its full-length version and as a one-act cutting. And Emma and the Lost Unicorn, a full-length children's fable. Emma is only a month old and has never been produced, yet a major publishing house has enough faith to publish it. There is hope for all of us under-produced unpublished playwrights.

To my fellow writers: "Keep writing, and always mail that script out to as many places and as often as you can!"

Thank you, Lewis, for your support.

Dear Mr. McPheron,

At the suggestion of Lewis Heniford I'm sending along two copies of my one-act one-person-play, ARNOLD.

I've also included a tape of the show. As someone who knows the theatre, I know you will understand that the acting was for the stage and was not directed for taping.

I should also mention that the play has garnered three playwriting awards.

You have my permission to circulate or duplicate the script in your normal course of business.

Thank you so much again.

I'd been meaning to write for ages now but as you know, procrastination has pride of purpose in a playwright's tool box. First and foremost, many thanks for the wonderful work you do in introducing plays to a global audience. It's one thing to write a play; it's a whole other matter bringing that play to the attention of those who might otherwise never know about it. On that note you've done a world of good on behalf of playwrights like myself. Thanks to your site, Sanctuary has been produced in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K, with an upcoming production in Australia. . . .

Thanks again, and keep up the fine work.

I'm incredibly indebted to you, Dr. Heniford, for the exposure which your website has given to my small-cast, one-act plays.  Most of my plays have found happy homes in high schools and other similar venues thanks to you.  This one, Unclean Hands, will, I hope, appeal to a bolder audience.

Dear Mr. Heniford:

Thank you for forwarding my information to Bray Arts. I'm not sure if anything will come of it, but I'm happy to inform you that one of my plays ("Traditions") was produced in Australia last summer as a result of having been listed on your site, and a second play ("Caretakers") is being considered by the same troupe for production this coming season. I had listed my first plays on your site and then forgotten about them, so you can imagine my surprise and pleasure when I started receiving inquiries about them from all over the world and actually collected my first royalties.

Thank you very much for offering this service to playwrights like me who might not otherwise get the opportunity to make their works available to a wide audience.

Hello, thought I'd get you up to date on me and my work (btw, I still get quite a few offers through your site - "Cafe a la Ionesco" has been going great guns!)

Tue 12 Feb 2002

I contacted you about a year ago about how one learns to write plays. You were so helpful and encouraging, so I wanted to let you know what's been going on with my playwriting "career" since then. I read voraciously, then looked in vain for a playwriting course or group near us (and my inability to find one surprised me somewhat, since we live near a state university, a community college, and several community theater groups). I finally located a former college professor, currently unemployed, who had taught playwriting in the past and was willing to give one-on-one lessons. I then completed two one-act plays (with three characters each). My "tutor" and I are talking about the possibility of trying to form some kind of playwriting guild locally, since apparently none exists, and staging at least public readings. In the meantime, however, I have taken the liberty of attaching one of my plays, "Telephone," to this email, and I'd appreciate any comments you may have. Thanks so much for your continued inspiration.

Just a brief note to let you know that the listing of BOOKENDS is leading to a production of GUNPLAY (of which FOREPLAY, now listed, is a part). The drama teacher at Lyman High School in Florida saw BOOKENDS and was interested in reading it. It's not really appropriate for high school, but eventually the trail of scripts I sent her for consideration led her to my GUNPLAY trilogy. She liked it, and Lyman will use it for the International Thespian competition in January. So thanks!

Lewis,

Thank you for taking the time to point me toward your page. I just got started with the internet about a month ago and have been looking for just such a cite. I printed the bibliography and think I've found a few helpful books in it.

I'm a 24 year old lighting designer by trade and playwright by love. I currently hold residency at PCPA in Santa Maria, CA as their Master Electrician and one of 2 resident lighting designers.

Hi Lewis,

Just thought I'd tell you that Bettina Grassmann (a Canadian playwright who participated in Studio Z's PIER program) was contacted by the Los Angeles Playhouse. They saw her listing on your website and now want to see the script.

A thousand thanks!!!

This Website continues under construction and welcomes new citations and comments.
