Theatre Forms for Fund-Raising


Over the years, as I have avidly read about theatre, participated (backstage) in community theatre projects, and dreamed of “New Play Development,” I have collated my thoughts and learning into forms that I intended to eventually use in NPD projects. Recently I have come to think these forms could benefit volunteer-based community theatres everywhere, (and thus MV-NPForum).

The first five of these forms are now available for purchase and download at Scribd.com:
(I) Theatre Forms: (1) The Actor’s Code (Scribd doc. 158673935)
(II) Theatre Forms: (2) Audition Tips; (3) Audition Procedure / Casting (Scribd doc. 158745578)
(III) Theatre Forms: (4) Audition Form; (5) Audition Notes (Scribd doc. 158755472)
Searching "Theatre Forms" should bring them to the top.

The cost to purchase these forms is minimal (to encourage purchase) with the hope that the income derived therefrom will help fund the beginnings of MV-NPForum. They can be purchased individually OR as a collection for a 10% discount.

SO, please let as many Community Theatres as you can, know about these forms and maybe MV-NPForum will have its first NPD in 2014.

2019 Update:
These forms are now available for downloading on a pay what you wish (or not) basis at

Jacob & Kin ~ online


The Jacob & Kin musical script is now available online at Scribd.com. The first three scenes of Act I can be read for free. This is the first intended NPD (new play development) for MV-NPForum. Purchase of the script for reading online (no downloads) will help fund the playwright's work.
