The Project Footlight festival is a camp for emerging musical theater writers that focuses on the developmental process and the art of collaboration. The festival asks participating artists how we unify a work across a collection of different artistic perspectives while always keeping the audience in mind. We especially encourage those composers or writers from other genres and those pushing the boundaries of musical theater to apply. In keeping with the laboratory environment of Dixon Place, Project Footlight seeks to attract and cultivate new voices in musical theater while sponsoring a unique work of art. Project Footlight will begin on Friday, January 30 and will end with two shows, one on Friday, February 6 and the other on Saturday, February 7 in the new Dixon Place state-of-the art theater located at 161 Chrystie Street. The festival will pay all artists a stipend and provide directors, actors, a pianist, and rehearsal space. http://www.projectfootlight.com/pfoot_app.pdf http://www.projectfootlight.com | |||

We are seeking submissions for the festival. The shorter the better. Please, no more than 10 minutes. What do you hate about theatre? We are seeking your good-humored interpretation of what YOU think is bad. What bothers you. What turns you off. What's cliche, and overdone. AND, it should make you laugh. Which might be a contradiction. Oh well. Don't worry about wacky stage directions, or any unusual requirements. We will make everything work, one way or another. We can offer no stipend. You don't have to be in attendance, although we'd love to have you there for the festivities. And there will be beer. You can feel free to use a pseudonym if you wish. Casting is TBA, and will be determined by us, the producers of the festival. Why are we doing this? For Fun. More thoughts on why: What is good? What is bad? Can bad be good? When people try to make something bad will they end up making something good? Deadline for submissions: January 5th This is NOT a co-production with NYTW. We just get to use their studio space. Yes, we know that this has been done before. We don't care!!! Love, Christi and Steph badplayfest@live.com | |||

| Planet Connections | Planet Connections c/o Jenn Boehm, Managing Director P.O. Box 6227 Astoria, NY 11106 |
Planet Connections Festivity will strive to produce productions with an overall message or cause relating to activism and charity works. Submitting playwrights and producers should understand that this is an overall umbrella theme which can be far reaching and encompass many aspects. To that endeavor we will accept many scripts on various themes. We are also accepting a certain number of "non-theme" productions. However we will be asking these "non-theme" productions to support a cause of their choice by mentioning in their programs how to get involved. This "cause" does not have to relate to their production in any way. For example, you could choose to do the Odd Couple but in your program you devote a paragraph to animal rights issues. So if your production doesn't seem to support any particular cause, don't worry! We'll still help you fight for the causes you believe in. http://www.planetconnectionsfestivity.com PlanetGlory@gmail.com | |||

| Women in History: "The Woman I Want to Be" Monologues | # | The Cleveland Royalty Court invites playwrights to submit 2- 3 minute monologues/ scenes for our "Women In History: The Woman I Want to Be" project. We are asking for short monologues and scenes that can be strung together to become an evening of celebrating history and events that have affected the lives of the many. Our primary group of participants is 11- 14 years old so all material must be appropriate. Material may be from a larger work as long as it stands alone well. Produced or unproduced, unpublished or published (if royalties may be highly reduced or waived) we are open to what you have. We are interested in women from any period of history (US preferred but not limited to) with a strong story to tell. There is a talented group of seamstresses waiting in the wings so costuming is not a huge issue but we will have limited to no sets, lights, or sound. Here is a very general breakdown of our demographics: 1 African American, late teens, public speaking experience; 3 Caucasians, early teens, public speaking, theatre/ dance experience; 4 Caucasians, tweens, no experience; 3 African Americans, pre-schoolers, no experience; 2 Caucasians, pre-schoolers, no experience We ask for this to be considered in the composition of the monologues and scenes. Semi- dramatic and comedic scenes are preferred. As part of our "Leadership Academy" program the girls will research the historical figures highlighted and compose bios for them for the program, so lesser known figures are appreciated as well. We will select up to 10 monologues/ scenes to complete our program. Selected playwrights will receive a program bio, copy of program, and DVD of the production. Production is scheduled to be part of our SWAN day program. I realize this is very specific and picky but I hate to reject a wonderful scene simply because I cannot cast it. I am happy to answer any questions about our requirements. Electronic submissions only, subject line "WIH" or "Women in History" gowestjack@gmail.com | |||
