WUAL: Seeking Playwrights and Creative Writers for Performance Competition
(Please share with your actors, performing artists, students, creative writers)
Seeking playwrights / creative writers for special, inspirational “Miracles, Magic and Makeovers” project.
Rationale: Watch the local and national news. Read the Internet. The media do not seem to address solutions to problems the community and country continue to face. The media seem to perpetuate and exacerbate society’s negative issues by broadcasting and magnifying society’s “uglies.”
There is growing evidence that community members and the general public seem to be tired, agitated and frustrated with the conditions. However, they do not seem to know what to do or how to counteract the negative energies and be able to contribute what they can to effect positive change within themselves, their families and neighborhood.
“A Brand New WUAL Day! Miracles, Magic and Makeovers” attempts to provide the higher level non-traditional thinking, principles and practices individuals can use to make such change.
Wake Up and Live’s Actors’ Studio (WUAL) is launching its “Miracles, Magic and Makeovers” project and inviting playwrights / creative writers to submit 7 - 10-minute inspirational scenarios to be performed in various venues.
Submissions should:
1. Address the Concept: Turn Your Life into One of Joy Health, Wealth and Happiness!

4. Be inspirational and uplifting.
6. Suggested Universal principles and practices to address Wellness issues:
