Directors Notes: The Last Play Standing 2008 (LPS3)

The Last Play Standing 2008 is .... Happy Talk by Annette Lee!

The competition was fantastic. The audience talk backs extremely fascinating and in the end Happy Talk prevailed.

About the scoring, I am sure your looking and going huh? The metric measurement takes into account all audience members if one script has larger houses for the performances both audiences must score similarly to ensure victory.

Thank you Chicago for embracing the Last Play Standing. We had several sold out houses because of your patronage.

Redtwist Theatre a thousand thank yous!
(SEE TRUE WEST! SEE GLEN GARY! AT REDTWIST!)
a true ICON of what theatrical collaboration in this town is all about.

a.c.t. Company your faith in this work is special beyond words.

To the fans of the Last Play Standing as long as Playwrights continue to write new plays we will continue to provide fish to be tossed!
