Avant-Garde Arts Festival

web site

Variations Theatre Group, Inc (VTG) is proud to announce its first annual American Avant-Garde Arts Festival to provide an opportunity for theater artists to develop new, fresh work.

Selected pieces will receive a showing at the beautiful Hudson Guild Theatre in Chelsea, Manhattan beginning the week of July 10th, 2011. During the course of two (2) weeks, each piece will be assessed by audiences and a panel of judges selected from the entertainment world. There will be three (3) official rounds of the festival, with winners of each round chosen by audience and judges.

VTG defines a “submittable piece” as any theatrical work that can be given a proper showing in a 30-minute time slot. These include one-act plays, performance art, cabaret acts, improv troupes, comedy acts, dance pieces or short films - pieces that are engaging, daring, and “push the envelope.”

(Please note - there is NO submission fee but if your work is selected there is a participation fee based on your share of theatre rental and overhead. VTG is a nonprofit theater committed to public service.)
