Attic
Productions,
the
community theater in Botetourt County, Virginia, offers opportunities
in the performing arts for children and adults to “learn by
doing”.
Founded in 1995, the all-volunteer group produces five plays per year.
A 7-acre building site, just outside Fincastle, was purchased in 2001,
and we now have a permanent performing arts facility.
The
Attic
Productions Board of Directors voted to name the theatre The D.
Geraldine Lawson Performing Arts Center. To see photos, click here.

Attention Playwrights!!
In following with Attic Productions' history of producing original,
unpublished plays - Attic's 2010 Play Selection Committee invites
playwrights to submit a maximum of two (2) scripts for consideration.
The plays should fit the following criteria in order to be considered:
1. Full length play, one act play, or musical
2. Currently unpublished
3. Family friendly (language and subject content)
4. Cast size range: 4 to 25 (list of cast and recommended ages and/or
physical attributes requested)(larger cast size primarily for youth
ensemble productions and/or musical would be acceptable)
5. Any special set/prop requirements should be clearly noted.
6. Printed copy of play must be submitted - along with name and contact
information for the author (address, phone number, e-mail address)
printed on the front page of the script.
7. Musicals should include sheet music for the show or a CD or cassette recording of the musical numbers.
8. Plays should be suitable for staging on a proscenium stage with
either a unit set or minimal set requirements. Our theatre seats
approximately 280.
9. Any requirements regarding royalties to be paid to perform shows
must be clearly defined when the play is submitted for consideration.
Scripts should be mailed or delivered to:
Attic Productions, PO Box 695,
7490 Roanoke Road, Fincastle, VA 24090
- attention: Cathy Henderson (play
selection committee 2010). Scripts will not be returned following
evaluation but may be kept in the theatre's library for future
consideration.
Deadline for submitting scripts is February 2nd, 2009. Playwrights of
any plays selected for the 2010 Attic Productions Season will be
notified as soon as the Attic Board of Directors has approved the plays
