A Taste of Theater provides

A Taste of Theater, playwrights showcase one scene of their play.

Cassieopia Sledge

a stage for playwrights to confirm their art. Just like movie previews or trailers provide the public with insight about the movie they intend to see, A Taste of Theatre does the same thing for live theater allowing playwrights to give you a “Taste” of their play. In addition, we provide a space where high school students can get exposure to the world of theatre or performing arts.

What Happens At The Event: The event will be hosted by Comedian Impersonator Reggie Reg. Theater goers will watch one scene of six different plays on Friday and Saturday. The first showcase starts at 6:30pm. Each playwright will introduce their production with:

1. Why they wrote the play

2· Why the story is important

3. · What they want the audience to walk away with.


The showcase performance will follow the playwright’s introduction. After the showcase, the audience will provide feedback about the play by using our app.

The playwright with the most positive feedback or votes will receive the following:

3rd place winner will receive a certificate to attend Shelly Garrett’s workshop in March 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia.

2nd Place winner will receive a certificate to attend Lizz Goins Turner's Playwrights Award Gala in 2015.

1st Place winner will receive the Prestigious Shelly Garrett Award and will have their entire play broadcasted on a metropolitan cities tv station.


At A Taste of Theatre we have three (3) principles we believe in:

1. Everyone can learn and shine in their area of interest.

2. Good playwrights deserve a place to showcase their talent.

3. Every opportunity should provide a win-win-win scenario for everyone.

As a participant your votes determine who will win the awards listed above. You can give your feedback on each play that you watch. Come join us for a night of fun and excitement. October 10-11, 2014 at Carver Military Academy. The event starts promptly at 6:30pm and runs until 9:45pm
