The Del Shores Foundation (DSF) recenntly annouced that it will present its first weekend-long Del Shores Foundation Writers Festival here in Dallas next month.
The event will be held Sept. 9-11 at the Trinity River Arts Center in Dallas. The festival will feature live stage readings of all three winning scripts from the first Del Shores Foundation Writers Search.
Panels will feature industry experts in theater and film focused specifically on writing. The festival is the next step of programming for the DSF in support of its mission “to find and facilitate the development of new Southern queer artistic voices through bringing together artists and working professionals, amplifying new work and connecting artists to platforms for the creation of the work.” “I am so proud of the work of The Del Shores Foundation and of all our winners.
Their work is just beautifully drawn. And finally – we get to have our first writers festival! As a storyteller, the most exciting moment in giving birth to a new work is hearing your creation read by actors for the first time.
