More archival video unearthed! Here’s “The Ghost Lamp” being performed at the Ghosts in 60 Seconds Festival of one-minute plays in Halifax, U.K. in October 2010.
It was previously produced at the festival’s New York version in 2009, but then was reprised in Great Britain as a Halloween piece, of sorts.
You can find the New York video here.

I’ve just come across some old videos of some of my pieces. Here’s “The Ghost Lamp” at the Gone in 60 Seconds Festival of one-minute plays in New York in June 2009.
This is a piece I wrote as a tribute to live theatre in the wake of Mill Mountain Theatre closing in Roanoke, Va.
Fortunately, Mill Mountain has since re-opened, but another favorite theatre of mine, Studio Roanoke, has closed.

I had two pieces about baseball performed at the Gone in 60 Seconds Festival of one-minute plays in New York City in June 2012.
Here’s “The Uniform.”
The other one was “Sunset in North Dakota.”
You can find still photos from both productions in this previous post.

I had two pieces about baseball featured in this year’s New York edition of “Gone in 60 Seconds,” a one-minute play festival that took place at Brooklyn College in June 2012.
Here’s “Sunset in North Dakota,” a condensed version of a longer script first performed at No Shame Theatre in Roanoke, Va.
You can find still photos from both “Sunset in North Dakota” and “The Uniform” in this previous post.

I had two pieces in this year’s New York edition of the “Gone in 60 Seconds” Festival of one-minute plays, produced June 8-9 at Brooklyn College.
Both dealt with baseball.
“Sunset in North Dakota” dealt with two minor leaguers in that Midwestern state, one seeing his career setting along with the sun — the other seeing only a short right-field fence. It’s a cutting from a longer version I did at No Shame Theatre in Roanoke, Va. in summer 2011.
“The Uniform” is also bittersweet. A baseball coach is at the first practice after cuts, watching his team run laps, when he notices a kid that didn’t make the team running as well. When the coach calls him over, he discovers a misunderstanding. The coach had said he didn’t have a uniform for the player; the player took that literally and made his own.
The festival plans to post video later this summer.

Scripts to be produced in festival in New York and Great Britain
Posted by Dwayne Yancey in News, Uncategorized on June 2, 2012
As previously reported, I’ve got two scripts this year in the “Gone in 60 Seconds” Festival in New York City — a festival of one-minute plays.
Now I can pass on that I’ve also got three scripts being done in the U.K. edition of the same festival.
Both the New York pieces deal with baseball: “The Uniform” and “Sunset in North Dakota.”
The three U.K. pieces don’t: “Liberal Arts Pirates” deals with career advice, “Busier Than” deals with cliches, and “Scouting Report” deals with buzzards.
The U.S. shows will be June 8-9 at Brooklyn College; the U.K. show will be June 16 in Halifax, England.
Scripts accepted for productions in New York and Roanoke

My show on the Moscow theatre siege — “57 Hours in the House of Culture” — is off to a fantastic start at Studio Roanoke. And now I have other production news to report:
* Studio Roanoke has announced its new season, and my Christmas show about the origin of Santa Claus, is among of the offerings. “Klaus” isn’t something for the children. It attempts to explain where Santa Claus came from. Here’s the description I wrote for Studio Roanoke’s calendar:
A holiday play for a mature audience, it is a dark and humorous tale of the origin of Santa Claus. Where did he come from? Set in the early 1700s when the Jacobite movement to overthrow the German-born Hanoverian kings of England and restore the ousted Stuart family to the throne was still very much alive, and involves physics, philosophy, treason against the king, a love story, and some cooking.
Studio Roanoke is also extending the shows in its next season from two weeks to three, reflecting a popular demand for more weekend shows (and fewer weekday ones.)
You can find the entire season on the Studio Roanoke website.
* Meanwhile, I’ve also had two pieces accepted into the annual “Gone in 60 Seconds” festival in New York City. This is a festival dedicated to one-minute plays. This year it runs June 8-9 at Brooklyn College. Both of my scripts accepted this year deal with baseball: “The Uniform” and “Sunset in North Dakota.” The latter is a one-minute version of a five-minute piece that I had done at No Shame Theatre in Roanoke, Va. last summer.
These upcoming productions join ones previously announced for other scripts in Maryland and Oregon.
