Welcome to the first ever American Theatre Caption Contest! Have you ever browsed through the New Yorker and think, “Man, I wish there were more theatre-related cartoons.” Well want no more! Because at the American Theatre caption contest, it’s all theatre-related cartoons!
Every month, we will post up a new cartoon and you, readers, are invited to write a caption to it. This month’s cartoon is the fishy specimen found above.
The winner of this month’s caption contest will receive a free copy of Angels in America (Parts 1 AND 2!), signed by Tony Kushner. Caption finalists will get a shout-out online.
Winner and finalists will be notified by e-mail. To enter into the contest, leave your captions in the comments below.*
The contest will close on Friday, October 3rd at 5 pm EST. Happy captioning!
*Please note, you can use a number of social media accounts to log in and comment. But please remember that whichever social media account you decide to use to comment should have a working e-mail address attached to it. We don’t want you to miss out on your free book!

These are difficult times for actors, Fred. Money’s scarce, roles are few, and cell phones are now waterproof.
Of course everyone’s nervous, Ethel. This is the Great White Way!
Thank God they closed CATS.
No matter how hard I try, I always end up in South Pacific.
Ah, the thrill of performing for schools!
I don’t have the heart to tell the director it’s the Age of Aquar-ius.
I came this close to getting Les Mis but they threw me back.
I’m trying to get Kushner to see Angel Fish in America, but he’s hard to catch.
