Inspiration Strikes

So you know that one of the ways to get work in the theatre world is to make the work for yourself. Of course this usually means you do NOT get paid, but you do get to do something, be creative, potentially network, ad a resume credit etc... So my recent burst of inspiration lies in Outdoor Theatre. Ok, well that's not exactly what I mean. What I mean is that I've been thinking, if I can find a script (like Shakespeare) where I do not have to pay rights because it's in the public domain ... AND ... I can find / hire actors to perform ... AND ... I can get (hopefully at a nothing or next-to-nothing fee) the local town park to give me a performance permit ... THEN ... perhaps, just perhaps I can direct something in my local town this summer and let people attend FOR FREE! Costing me and my audience nothing but time. So ... now it's a script hunt 'cause I'm pretty sure I don't want it to be a Shakespeare play (but you never know).

Ok ... that is all.
