Here’s what former finalists have to say about Weathervane’s TheatreFest:
Three words for any playwright thinking about entering Weathervane’s 8x10 TheatreFest: Go for it! I was thrilled when my play was among the 8 chosen for the 2012 competition. Weathervane Playhouse did a superb job producing the play. I was impressed by the acting, the directing, and the commitment of everyone at Weathervane to bringing new and varied works to the stage.  
Maureen Connolly, 2012 Finalist, A LIFETIME WARRANTY

The publicity generated by The Weathervane Playhouse 8 X 10TheatreFest led to my receiving two inquiries of interest and a production in Ireland.

What a happy experience it was to have my play chosen for the 8X10 TheatreFest 2012. Even though I was not able to physically be there, I was kept abreast of the casting, the rehearsing, and the production itself by the amiable and able coordinator, Eileen Moushey, who also directed my play. Even though I was miles away, I felt like I was a part of this special event. Thank you, Eileen! **

Weathervane’s 8x10 TheatreFest is listed in the 2013 Dramatist's Guild Resource Book (p 29).

We look forward to reading your plays!
