The Black Swan Theater welcomes exciting new scripts, directors,
actors, readers who will help to select upcoming plays, benefactors,
and ideas.
If you are interested in submitting a script or helping us with future productions
we'd love to hear from you.
CURRENTLY…
BLACK SWAN THEATER will be active this summer, so
if you are an actor or director stuck in Asheville for the summer,
GIVE
US A CALL. We will be doing a program of one acts at the ASHEVILLE
ARTS COUNCIL on JUNE 14, for which we will need a bunch of
actors. As it looks now, these one-acts will be UNCA-related,
by students
and possibly professors.
IN SEPTEMBER we will be doing a stage
adaptation of GILGAMESH, first for the Chancellor's installation
and then for a regular run at Diana Wortham. Actors and other
sorts of participants are needed and welcome. We will need
to begin rehearsals for this in the summer. If you are interested,
please contact us soon!

Ongoing
new scripts.
The process is this: every two months (this
may go to once a month, depending on response and energy) Black
Swan will arrange a reading of a new script or scripts before
an audience, to which the playwright will be invited. Response
sheets will be given to director, performers, and audience
to aid in the development of the play, and an audio recording
will be made for the playwright if he/she cannot be in attendance.
Especially promising scripts will undergo further development
at Black Swan and at Highland Repertory Theater (our professional
partner in this endeavor) toward the end of possible full production.
No payment to the playwright during reading and development,
but contracts negotiated for full productions.
Submit your script for future readings!
