presents Haunted

DEADLINE: August 14, 2013

Performances: October 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 2013 at the Clear Heart Theatre in Petaluma

What haunts you? Are you troubled by nightmares, ghosts, regrets, premonitions? Does the past, with its painful secrets and ghastly mistakes, whisper curses in your characters' ears, or do complications in your current life set your nerves to twitching? Fact or fiction, horrible or hilarious, Petaluma Readers Theatre and Tiny Lights invite you to let some skeletons out of the closet to share the stage with Edgar Allan Poe and other dark masters.  

1,500 words or fewer (3-5 minutes performance time is ideal), no gratuitous violence or obscenities, autumnal flavor appreciated. Authors selected by Petaluma Readers Theatre agree to the possibility of being edited and showcased (with proper attribution and never for profit) in PRT videos and podcasts. Please send manuscripts as Word attachments to Susan Bono, Editor of Tiny Lights: A Journal of Personal Narrative: sbono@tiny-lights.com by August 14.
