| The Onion Man I am the Onion Man God placed me in the ground to be born half buried, half from the ground I am the Onion Man I can say my own name now because it’s Fall with Winter close at hand. Harvest time the moon begs me to stand so I push hard to find my feet, I push hard to breathe again. This is my row My soil, my ripe hands So watch me walk as I haunt this promised land. by James Beck Copyright © 2007 |
| For more information, please email info@onionmanproductions.com FAQ's: What is an Onion Man? Yes, it's different, really different. I know, but it does have a specific reference. The Onion Man is a dream character in a play I have written entitled, The Onion Man. For the purposes of this company, the Onion Man represents the creative part in all of us that allows us to create, well, in layers. When a playwright is doing their job correctly, not only should you get a good, entertaining story but also there should be something else - an idea, an emotion - just below the surface that is ready to emerge. Depending on the play, the actors, directors, the technical crew, and the audience, then that powerful creative force inside can potentially be revealed, examined and explored. We don’t always reach that place, but it is the goal. Can I submit plays or screenplays to OMP? Yes, but please contact via email for information or see Submissions Do you offer classes? Yes, see Classes. When are auditions? April 2010.
