APL invites submissions of new plays for a developmental reading at our New Year New Play Sunday Salon in January 2015.
This call is for new plays that have not yet had a developmental reading. While we are most interested in a full-length piece, we are open to other synergies and ask current or former PNW playwrights (emerging or established) to submit their long- or short-form plays for consideration.
The play(s) will be read by local actors at our January 25 Sunday Salon, and the reading will be followed by lively, lightly moderated discussion among the artists and intellectuals attending. There will not be a rehearsal, but the APL artistic directors will provide guidance to the actors, as needed. We also will confer with the playwright both before and after the reading, provide limited dramaturgical assistance, and offer the playwright the opportunity to frame questions for the discussion.
This Salon will be an invited event focused on bringing an optimal mix of people into the space to focus on your play. Although we cannot offer a stipend or travel funds, we promise a rich and productive experience for the playwright. And, as with all APL Salons, the gathering includes great music, food, and drinks.
DEADLINE TO SUBMIT: Sunday, November 9, 2014.
TO APPLY
- Send PDF or DOC files to akropolis.performance.lab@gmail.com, and write “Submission: Title” in the subject line.
- Along with the complete script, submit a cover sheet with your full contact information, short bio, brief synopsis of script, development history (as applicable), character breakdown, and a brief statement of your hopes for how this reading might help further the play’s development.
- NO FEE.
NOTIFICATIONS December 1.
Please note: Although our emphasis is on supporting the work of current or former playwrights from the Pacific Northwest, we are open to receiving submissions from others who believe their work is a good fit for our project.
Last year’s inaugural New Year New Play Salon selection, Fangs by Jim Moran, went on to receive a full production by Eclectic Theater, November 13 – December 6, 2014.
