<DIV><STRONG>Here’s what former finalists have to say about Weathervane’s
TheatreFest:</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><EM>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.

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

<DIV><EM>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! ** </EM></DIV>
