[We used four scripts from the FAK on Jan. 9 - Todd Ristau: "The Bench" and "Monster Truck" James Horak and Nick Clark "In Agreement" Howard Zimmerle "The Speech" We butchered "Monster Truck" but "The Bench" won for best performance. "In Agreement" was okay but ended up feeling like a whodunit. "The Speech" went over well, but we cut the actresses from 4 to 2. Thanks...it truly was the good, the bad, and the ugly. --DD]

MISCELLANEOUS PIECES - [2003]:

[Dates unknown:]

Thursday, October 16th, 2003 - [University of Miami]

$250 in prizes at No Shame Theatre, University of Miami

Have you ever wanted to act, write or direct? Do you have complaints or poetry, rants or raves?  Here's your chance.

No Shame Theatre is a nationally recognized, nonprofit, theater franchise. Opening night show is October 16th at the RAT.

"No Shame Theatre is an open forum for performers (and writers) of all types, where anything really does go…it's the good, the bad, and the really silly". Miami Herald

Rules for independent acts.

1: All work must be original (that includes music) and must be written in script form. (Please bring enough copies for the cast and stage manager).
2: Max: 5 minutes long. Min: Lights up/down.
3: You can't break anything - - not yourself, not the audience, not the theater, and no laws.
4: No fire, without prior approval.
5: Sign-up must be done by 9 PM ; Show starts at 10:30 PM. Only the first 15 will be accepted, so show up early!

Don't have an independent act? Call us ahead of time, we'll read your script, assign parts, and arrange rehearsals. Actors are eligible for Best Performer only.
Contact DoubleD at Deadcomics@aol.com or call 305-254-0108..

No Shame Theatre is the brainchild of Todd Ristau and Jeff Goode. Jeff currently works in television and scripted the pilot for MTVs Undressed, now in its sixth season. (Cancelled after 7???) Todd Ristau has had his work produced around the world, including London's exclusive West End.

Prizes have been broken down in this format:

$100 Best Written work
         50% of your score: Style and format, add stage directions. Call for format if unfamiliar with plays written to be immediately acted out on stage. Stage directions are not usually included in a play, so keep direction to the bare minimum. No Shame pieces, already produced, are not eligible.

$100 Best Production
All the actors knew their lines, all the props were there, and nobody tripped. Everybody, as a group, is eligible for this one.

$50 Best Performer
By applause. Step up and declare yourself eligible.
