Bring your 10 minute play (or plays) of 4 characters or less and a synopsis of said play to dinner. We’ll share synopses and Katie Hahn will present the details on the season and important info each playwright needs to participate fully.

Casa De Beverley’s Mission Statement:

Casa De Beverley is a community and art space located in the heart of Ditmas Park in Brooklyn, New York. Our goal is to build and nurture a community that values creativity and life-long learning. We do this through a variety of events including theater performances, yoga, healthy living get-togethers, guided meditation, personal development, guest lectures, and studies in applied sensuality and sexuality. Anyone and everyone is welcome.

One Acts and Snacks (OAS) is the brainchild of Katie and Orin Hahn. This monthly event combines a love of theater and food with a shared desire to build a community that nurtures burgeoning artists, playwrights, and actors. Our goal is to inspire great artistic endeavors and encourage fascinating conversations between old friends and new. To do this we gather playwrights, actors, and theater lovers in a cozy intimate setting to share what feeds our minds, bodies, and souls.

One Acts and Snacks is not a traditional play performance, but rather a semi-produced table-read. This means that each character is assigned an actor or actress, and the entire script — along with the stage directions — is read in its entirety.

Following the read-through, the audience will be able to interact directly with the playwright, asking questions and providing feedback. Socializing and networking will follow.

Our Script Acceptance Process:
We seek scripts that would benefit most from immediate, in-person, constructive feedback in order to meet our goal of nurturing new art. We look for creative new takes on issues past, present, and future, as well as pieces that lend themselves to artistic discussion. We support a diverse community and welcome all shapes, sizes and shades.

Privacy and Rights:
The playwright retains all rights for any play submitted or performed. We do not permit any audio or video recording of the reading. Photography is not allowed during the reading. Participants and audience members may be photographed during networking time before and after the event. Those who wish their image not utilized in future Casa de Beverley and One Acts and Snacks marketing are encouraged to alert the production team at info@casadebeverley.com
