- I went and saw the revamped version of "Chess" last March. After the
- show I was so excited about "Chess" I tried to put it in my Drama Club's
- 92-93 season. So I called up the Artist's Perspective under the direction
- of Marsha D. Winstead. I asked her about performing the new version of
- "Chess" and where to get the rights. I found out that they themselves
- own the rights and will send out the contracts for it. Alas, I could
- not find a director willing to do it at my school so I never re-contacted
- Ms. Winstead. In terms of contacting her, I seem to remember just calling
- their theatre box office (The Master Theatre) and getting transferred up
- to Ms. Winstead's office phone. If you want a liitle more info e-mail
- me. Hope this helps.
