Your thoughts on TRANSFORMATION!!


Post away folks!!

Is there an image from tonight's plays on your mind?
For me, it was the park bench, and the kitty folded from a newspaper...

What was the most metaphorical transformation?
Loved the stiletto heel...

Were there any particular words that stuck with you?
"fluffy lightening" (used to describe a dog)

Was there something that left you thinking, "WHAAAAAAAA?!" Tell us about it.

Do you want to know who wrote what play? Ask us.

Playwrights: did your scene get an unexpected reaction? Why?
Did you learn anything valuable as a writer tonight?


Let's hear what you've got to say about tonight's Instant Theatre...

This month's theme is... TRANSFORMATION

The writer's task: Your scene must include an everyday object that during the course of the scene is transformed into another object.

For example: Your scene opens with a person on a cell phone. During the course of the scene the cell phone turns into an avenging alien being taking revenge for an ancient wrong. Or maybe it turns into a mop.

Want some inspiration?
- How's this for some theatrical transformation?
