Record run for Playhouse's "Rent"
It was a record run for "Rent" at the Lake City Playhouse.
The musical sold out all 12 shows during its three-week run in Coeur d'Alene. It was a record for consecutive sell outs, as well as fastest sell outs. Every show was sold out prior to doors opening each night.
"Fiddler on the Roof" remains No. 1 for ticket sales and attendance at the Lake City Playhouse, followed by "Urinetown," "Rent" and "Evita."
The Playhouse's light-heart comedy "Epic Proportions" runs through March 4.
Its main fundraiser, "South Pacific in Concert and Dinner," is set for March 9 at the Harding Center. Tickets are $35.
Wanted: A few good scripts
One of the Northwest's independent film and video entertainment societies, kNIFVES, is looking for a 10-page screenplay with an Inland Northwest theme that can be shot locally with a $5,000-$10,000 budget. Any genre - romance, comedy, horror - is acceptable.
The winning entry will receive prizes including $100 cash and a choice between Final Draft 8, the top-selling scriptwriting program, or Jungle Software's Gorilla 5-Film Production Program, software designed for the professional filmmaker.
Other prizes include Jungle Software's StoryO, a new story organization program; and entry into one of Final Draft's Insider View Webinar Series, where visitors participate in Q & A with industry professionals.
Although winning does not guarantee production, kNIFVES will seek funding to produce the winning screenplay.
The contest ends April 30.
