IN BRIEF
Scriptapalooza
writing contest offers
$10,000 prize
Scriptapalooza, Inc. is offering
a $10,000 prize for first place in
the Scriptapalooza sixth-annual
Television Writing Competition.
Finalists are also given the op
portunity to have their material
promoted by Scriptapalooza, Inc.
for one year.
Scriptapalooza, Inc. President
Mark Andruso said the company
essentially acts as a management
team, but considers itself a “gate
way” for up-and-coming writers.
Scott Gray, a 2003 Daytime
Emmy winner for Outstanding
Children's Animated Program for
the TV series “Rugrats,” said,
“Winning the competition
helped get me to the top of the
industry ‘to read’ piles, and I
was able to sign with CAA (Cre
ative Artists Agency).”
According to Andruso, more
than 4,000 entries were submit
ted last year, and 13 finalists
were chosen.
The three categories include
existing one-hour spec scripts,
existing half-hour spec scripts
and original pilots. Deadline for
the competition is Nov. 15, and
there is no limit on the number
of entries allowed.

Spears: Speculation continues
about legitimacy of marriage
Continued from page 9
Spears and Federline exchanging
vows, was released on MTV’s “Total
Request Live” two days before the
“real” wedding took place. And, her
new scent for Elizabeth Arden, Curi
ous, hit stores the day before she and
Federline tied the knot. Talk about a
weekend packed full of much-need
ed publicity.
Regardless of what really took
place that Saturday night, here’s hop
ing that they are truly happy. Al
though relationships between stars
and their backup dancers haven’t
had the best track record, maybe
Spears and Federline can show every
one that marriage isn’t a joke. But un
til legitimate proof of the nuptials sur
faces, the joke could be on us.

Dance: New season packed
with performances
Continued from page 7
get on tour earlier,” Dance Africa Di
rector Rita Honka said.
Other changes this year are
the dates of the student-choreo
graphed and faculty-choreographed
concerts at the Dougherty Dance
Theatre. Previously, the student
concert was held in the winter
and the faculty concert in the
spring, but this year the dates will
swap. Stoddart said dance faculty
wanted the faculty concert to take
place in the winter so the depart
ment’s advanced students, many
who tour with Dance Africa and
UORDC in the spring, will be
around to participate.
Two graduate-student-produced
concerts are planned for the year, an
increase from the amount of graduate
concerts held in previous years. Stod
dart said this is due to the growing
number of graduate students working
on their final projects.
“We’re getting more and more stu
dents in their final year,” Stoddart said.
Graduate student Sarah Neme
cek’s concert will be held on Feb. 25
and 26 at the Dougherty Dance The
atre, and she said she is planning a
collaborative production with the
School of Music composers, a Uni
versity sculptor and the 3-D art pro
gram at the University.
“There will be 200 bells hanging in
the theater, and the dancers’ move
ments will trigger the bells,” Neme
cek said.
The second graduate concert,
scheduled for May 27 and 28, will
display the work of graduate stu
dent Dominique Chartrand.
Kennedy said Chartrand plans to
use the Pioneer Cemetery for part of
her show. The show will begin at
the cemetery at dusk.
“She’s trying to reclaim the site in a
positive way,” Kennedy said.
