Bake Off
Summary
The term "Bake Off" comes from playwright Paula Vogel who used it to describe a writing exercise where writers had to create a script using assigned themes and elements in a short period of time. We here at Goose Thunder, plan to open a similar exercise to our fellow podcasters.
To start, we send out a list of five "ingredients" for you to include in a short, 10-15 page, script. Then you will have 36 hours to go forth and write, finding a way to incorporate all these elements into your story.
At the end of those 36 hours, you submit your completed script to a Google Form, posted on our website. Then, tune back in on a later date to hear a couple of our favorites get performed by a few of our talented Goose Thunder actors!
The Rules
- You must include ALL the ingredients provided. There is room for interpretation though, so get creative!
- Scripts may not include more than 5 speaking characters.
- Scripts may not exceed 15 pages, not including title and character list. Please submit all scripts in a PDF format
- This is a challenge made to lift up our fellow podcasters and as such, hateful rhetoric will not be accepted.
- Scripts must be created to suit a solely audio based medium. As a podcasting network, we're looking for your audio drama style stories.
- Have fun!
