0811 Famous for 15 Minutes

Now in its 14th year, the legendary annual Famous for 15 Minutes opens on Thursday, August 11th.

Famous for 15 Minutes was started by Tom Coash, Kelvin Hastings-Smith and Phillip Jones back in 2002. 15-minute scripts written by Bermuda residents, with no more than 4 characters, no children, limited set and props (no helicopters) are submitted to an off-shore reading committee. The committee changes annually and scripts are submitted anonymously. A final six are chosen by this reading committee for production at BMDS. Directors are assigned scripts, auditions held, and the final six plays are performed. A judge then selects the overall winner of each festival (again, with no knowledge of who wrote what script) and this winner is then awarded the Golden Inkwell trophy.

Showtime is at 8pm each night at the Daylesford Theatre, and the show will run from Thursday, August 11th until Saturday, August 13th and then from Thursday, August 18th until Saturday, August 20th. The Gala Night is on closing night with a pre-show reception at 6.30pm.

Tickets are $30, or $85 for the Gala Night, and are available from www.pTix.bm or from box office one hour before the show.

For more information, contact famous@bmds.bm or visit www.bmds.bm.

 

0818 Wine and Design

Promising the perfect cocktail of creativity and conversation, discover a different night out at Fairmont Southampton’s Wine & Design on Thursday, August 18th.

The event will run from 7pm until 9pm in the Poinciana Foyer and includes all supplies, wine and hors d’oeuvres.  After the event, you will get to take home the masterpiece that you just created.

The cost is $79 per person.

Get ready to get your glow on with the Bermuda Police Rugby Men’s and Ladies team as you sail along with them at their Neon Booze Cruise on Friday, August 19th.

Departing Albuoy’s Point at 7.30pm aboard the MV Bermuda Longtail, this three-hour cruise will see you traversing the waters of Bermuda while dancing under the neon lights and stars.

This annual party is quickly becoming a summer tradition in Bermuda with over 120 attending last year and likely close to 200 this year.  You are asked to arrive early to ensure you are on-time to sail and wear clothing that you don’t mind getting neon paint on.

In addition to an open bar, neon glow sticks, paint, etc. are included in the ticket price.

Tickets are $60 and available from www.pTix.bm.  If you order before August 5th, you will get a $5 discount per ticket.
