GIVEAWAY: "Seminar"

The lovely people over at Seminar have offered me a chance to share my experiences at the show with all of you, or, to be more specific, two winners of the following contest. Now I haven't yet seen Jeff Goldblum, Justin Long, or Zoe-Lister Jones, but with Hetienne Park and Jerry O'Connell still with the production, it's probably still worth sitting in on this "master class," and in honor of the subject matter -- creative writing -- here's what you need to do to win:

• Write, in 500 words or less, non-fiction or fiction, about an unusual class that you've taken. This can be about a crazy professor, this can be about an odd lot of students, this can be about a strange subject, or any slightly related tangent.
• E-mail your entry to illogicaljoker at gmail dot com. 
• One winner will be the most creative winner, as judged by me. A second winner will be randomly chosen from all entries* (*but note that you must still submit some sort of story, no matter how bad, in order to be eligible). 
• Your deadline is 4/19; the winning story will be posted here, and each of the two winners will receive (1) voucher that can be redeemed for (2) tickets to a performance between now and 5/27 (subject to availability). 

So get those pencils sharpened and then use them to poke at the recesses of your brain stuff!

Incidentally, if you'd rather just buy tickets, here's a discount code:

GIVEAWAY: "Peter and the Starcatcher"

I recently attended a preview performance of this whimsical and inventive prequel to Peter Pan, and I thought I'd offer readers the chance to win (1) voucher (for two tickets for any performance through 6/1/12, assuming tickets are still available). In honor of the creativity of directors Roger Rees and Alex Timbers and the singular performance of Christian Borle as Black Stache, the voucher will be awarded in the following way:

• Take a photograph that in some way represents "star catching."
• Do so, and e-mail it to illogicaljoker at gmail dot com by 4/17/12.
• This should be either your photo, or a photo that you have the rights to, as I'll be posting the winner here.

Be literal or metaphorical, it's up to you: the most creative interpretation, as judged by me, will win the voucher. 

Have fun, and if you have any questions about the specifics of this contest/giveaway, please comment below.
