LoveNotes! South Central PA Auditions
Thanks for your interest in LoveNotes! Real Stories. Real People. Real Love. The South Central PA show will be held on September 12, 2025 at West Art in Lancaster.
Spread the word. Tell the poets, lovers, dreamers, and anybody else who's ever been in love that LoveNotes! South Central PA is looking for TRUE, heartwarming to heartbreaking stories of first love, last love, forever love, unrequited love, the against-all-odds love, gay love, trans love, the one-that-got-away love, happily-ever-after love, unexpressed love, online love, arranged marriage love, worst date-ever love, friends-to-lovers love, never-ending love, oops-that-was-a-mistake love, second-time-around love, and on and on.
You get the idea—any story about romantic love in any of its incarnations. No stories about how much you love your mom, kid, teacher, etc.— a LoveNotes! story is the kind of yarn in which Cupid has shot someone in the heart and that person has lived to tell the tale. Funny is hard to find so if you have a humorous take on love, please audition. The only two requirements are:
Your story must be true.
Your story must be 750 words or fewer.
Auditions are by SELF-TAPE.
Write a 5-7 minute essay (750 words or fewer). Video record yourself reading the essay aloud on camera. Upload your video and manuscript (Word doc or PDF) using WeTransfer and send the link to lancasterstoryslam@gmail.com by May 23. Put LoveNotes Auditon-[Your Name] in the subject.
