"The Bed" fails to make finals at Short & Sweet/Sydney.

I really thought she had the wheels to make the final cut.

Course, I said that last year with "Pass the Salt, Please.". Found out last night that my 10-minute play, "The Bed" (read original post), wasn't chosen as one of the plays to be performed at Short & Sweet/Sydney - The biggest little play festival in the world. It did make the semifinals - top 300 out of 1,000. Still - dang it!

Well, it's already been submitted for Short & Sweet/Brisbane and I'll enter it into S&S Malaysia and Singapore. Yeah - there's about 6 or 7 different competitions under the S&S umbrella. The co-coordinator, Alex Broun, one of the most produced playwrights of 10-minute plays in the country, didn't even make the cut and he had 8 plays in the semi's. Strange, those Aussies. And of the 39 U.S. playwrights shortlisted, only 9 made the finals. The rest are all from Australia, mostly. Oh well, she's a 5-star play - she'll get produced elsewhere.

I've already got my next submission for Short & Sweet brewing in my head...
