The buzzards in “Requiem for a Buzzard.”
Two of my short pieces were produced in June in the annual “Asphalt Jungle Shorts Festival” in Kitchener, Ontario. This is a walking-tour theatre, where patrons buy a ticket and are led around downtown, where they encounter theatre popping up at various places. (More details on the festival here and descriptions of each piece here.)
My two pieces were “Pandora and Shrodinger: What’s in the Box?” and “Requiem for a Buzzard.”

I have shows going on this weekend in three countries – the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
* In the U.S., the “Gone in 60 Seconds” Festival of one-minute plays is this weekend in New York, with my piece “Fishing for Men.”
* The U.K. version of that same festival is going on in Halifax, with three of my scripts: “This is the Captain Speaking, “Three Trees Talking” and “The Whole Wide World.” (You can see a rehearsal photo here.)
* Meanwhile, in Canada this weekend and next, I have two short pieces in “Asphalt Jungle Shorts,” an annual walking-tour festival in Waterloo, Ontario (near Kitchener) in which the audience is led around downtown and encounters live theatre at different spots. My two pieces are “Requiem for a Buzzard” and “Pandora and Shrodinger: What’s in the Box?”
Here’s the poster for the show. There”s also this mention in The Record, the Waterloo newspaper.
Two scripts to be produced in Canadian festival (and other news)
Posted by Dwayne Yancey in News, Productions, Uncategorized on April 26, 2013
I have more productions to report.
I learned this week that two of my short scripts (five minutes or less) will be produced in June as part of the Asphalt Jungle Shorts festival in Kitchener, Ontario.
This is a unique festival, staged by Flush Ink Productions, in which all the productions are site-specific. I gather that patrons buy a ticket and then are escorted on a walking tour of downtown Kitchener, where they encounter pieces happening . . . on sidewalks . . . on park benches . . . in coffee shops . . .or in bars.
My two pieces in this festival (which happens June 6-15) are “Pandora and Schrodinger: What’s in The Box?” and “Requiem for a Buzzard.” I’m guessing the first one is a park bench piece and the other might be a sidewalk piece. (Descriptions are below.)
I love the idea for this festival; I only wish I could be there to see in action! I previously had a piece (“A Nice, Relaxing Cup of Tea”) in the 2009 installment.
Falcon Radio Theatre airs Tuesday nights at 6 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on kspu.org
Meanwhile, Falcon Radio Theatre at KSPU in Seattle continues to produce some of my work as radio plays.
On April 16, the station (affiliated with Seattle Pacific University) produced “Damsel Not in Distress” and “The Viking Funeral of Harold Olalfson.”
On April 23, it was “The Last Day of School.”
Here’s a description of each show, with a notation about previous productions (if any): Read the rest of this entry »
