City Theatre of Independence (Missouri) Play Write Festival

web site

Here is some information about the 2011 festival-

Festival Dates: July 14,15,16 & 17, 2011

- This year we are trying something different and assigning a title for your written work.

All submissions for this year's festival must be titled "Fine Art". What you write about is completely up to you- art can be a person, an acronym; your concept of the art world in general but all pieces must be titled "Fine Art". Also, you may punctuate the title in any manner you wish.

- Also, this year we will not be limiting content; no words are off limits. No concepts verboten. We just hope to pick the best eight of all submitted.

-Your written submission MUST be performed in UNDER fifteen minutes- this year we will be much more staunch on that subject; even going so far as timing a table read in order to confirm. So as you edit- watch the clock.

-Please do not submit anything to us that has been staged or performed before. This is a new works festival and we will be doing background checks on all submissions.

-Each author is allowed to submit up to three (3) scripts for our consideration.

-All submissions should be sent via e-mail to: marcie.r.ramirez@gmail.com

-All scripts must be received by March 1, 2011.

-Please send all scripts in Word or within the body of the e-mail. Please do not attach your name or contact information to the script itself. Please send your contact information in a second document including: your name, telephone number, and e-mail address.

-Please understand that this is a chance to showcase your new work but that NO monetary compensation will be offered.

Thank you all for your interest. We greatly look forward to reading your submissions.
