Greetings!
We are working on many things here at JAC, including completing our website upgrade, the monologue compilation, the Winter'10 Catalog, and a number of wonderful new scripts coming in the next few months. Stay tuned!
In the meantime... riddle us this: Are you a fan of Amazon's Kindle? We had a suggestion from playwright Brian C. Petti ( Measure of a Man) to offer our plays as Kindling (so to speak). So we investigated...and we are now offering Brian's play in that format. We don't know if our other playwrights will want to follow suit, but if they want it - we'll provide it. After all, without them - we'd have an empty library! Still, we're curious. Downloadable scripts to view only... we'd love your feedback. Please drop us a line to tell us what YOU think! |

New Releases
Our latest title comes from a new playwright with JAC. Her name is Judith S. Offer, and her one-act play, The E.B.F.F. Wants You, is sure to please! The year is 1992. Virginia Fleur has signed up her widowed sister, Veronica, to a dating service - the East Bay Friendship File. When a solicitor comes to the house for the East Bay Feline Friends, the two sisters notice only his organization's initials and assume they are discussing the dating service with him. Confusion abounds after additional exchanges are held about different kind of "cats," exactly who is "homeless," and a beneficial "neutering program." In the tradition of mistaken identity in comedy, this play has a happy ending for all. A small, three-person cast and a single set make this comedy perfect for any size theater with any budget. Reference JAC #2008-0027; ISBN #1-60513-030-3. For more information about this or any of JAC's play selections, visit us online, or drop us an email! |

There's no surprise that the majority of NEED supporters do so because of our history of listing audition and production notices. When NEED started as a newspaper in 1979 (yes... long before some of you were born!), it was a fully-featured tabloid including articles, stories, biographies, promotions, etc., in addition to these listings. Even now that we're online 24/7 and no longer in a print format, NEED-Online's Auditions and Productions pages are by far the most visited pages on our site. So we thought we'd invite another possible option to our mailing list recipients.
If NEED was to offer a separate email blast including JUST current audition &/or production notices, would you prefer it to receiving the JAC Publishing & NEED notices in one? Knowing how much WE hate getting mail we don't care to read, we want to make sure we are sending the information people want when they sign on with us. Please let us know what you think! Would you like your production, event or cause featured here? Email us for more information! ____________________________________
