Pride Films and Plays 2014 Gay Film Weekend

Five finalists - Chris Halligan, James Rosenfield, Barry Brennessel, John Woodard, and JB Berg - have been named in PFP's Great Gay Screenplay Contest, an international contest for screenplays with LGBT characters and themes.

The screenplays named as finalists include a wide array of subject matter ranging from an exciting historical drama of two men battling for their love, a comedy about two men looking for one another in LA, a subversive period drama that weaves characters finding their voices and new paths in life, a fun coming-of-age tale, and a suspenseful story of a spy that develops romantic feelings for a man that happens to be a national security threat.

The five screenplays will be performed as enhanced staged readings from November 14 to 16 during Gay Film Weekend at Center on Halsted's Hoover-Leppen Theatre, 3656 N Halsted.

The performance schedule for the weekend is:

o Friday, November 14 7PM Agent Call Boy by James Rosenfield

o Saturday, November 15 2PM The Celestial by Barry Brennessel

o Saturday, November 15 7PM How to Be a Homosexual by JB Berg

o Sunday, November 16 11AM 1974 by Chris Halligan

o Sunday, November 16 3PM Chance Meeting by John Woodard

Tickets for the readings and the film fest are all $10 each. Student/Senior tickets are available for $5 with a valid ID.
