ONE GREAT WEEKEND CELEBRATING LGBTQ+ WRITERS!

We are THRILLED to announce our second DEL SHORES FOUNDATION WRITERS FESTIVAL! It’s halfway between a writers convention and a film festival, with the best parts of both, all focused specifically on the writers from our Writers Search, the winning scripts and the craft and process of writing for theatre and film.

We are presenting stage readings of ALL THREE winning scripts from the Writers Search featuring local actors. We will have panels featuring industry experts in theatre and film, a special screening of Del Shores film Southern Baptist Sissies with stars EMERSON COLLINS, DALE DICKEY, BOBBIE EAKES & ANN WALKER and an opening night “One-On-One with Jack Heifner” as Del Shores interviews the award-winning playwright of one of the longest running Off-Broadway plays, VANITIES.
​
We are bringing in all of the available finalists from the Writers Search to be a part of the weekend, to celebrate these incredible new LGBTQ+ voices. Writing is the focus of the weekend, but whether you are a writer or just a lover of great writing – JOIN US!

ALL READINGS AND PANELS ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!!
