Now calling all playwrights: Here’s a chance to have your play live on a New York City Stage! Submit your work to the Summerfest 2019 festival competition. Accepting plays and musicals of all genres between 5-90 minutes in length. New York Theater Festival has been a haven for playwrights for 15 seasons.
Submissions Accepted from the Tristate Area and Shows from beyond a 30-mile radius outside of Manhattan can only run if the entire cast and crew are from New York City. Plays are considered on a first-come first-served basis. The earlier you submit, the better your chances are of having your script invited to the festival. Each applicant is fully responsible for all elements of their production, including directing, casting, stage-managing.
We offer:
§ A quality venue.
99 beautiful red fabric seats and 4 wheel-chair friendly spots. A stage the side of your average 2 bedroom apartment in Manhattan (29’x22’) with plenty of backstage space, room in the wings, a large dressing room complete with mirrors, sink, clean and functional bathroom.
§ Need set/prop pieces? No problem.
What other festival offers you the use of 86 set props/furniture in their storage for free? Not only do we invite you to use our items, we offer free storage. It’s not fun double parking your truck outside of theaters to find your windshield sporting a new parking ticket. It’s annoying lugging all your props, set items, and costumes back and forth on the subway throughout the length of your run. Don’t sweat it. We have space- and that’s not easy to come by in NYC!
§ Easy to use technology.
Where else will you get a lighting plot of 94 lights, complete with LED lights that can flush a full range of deep color to your scenes. You are also free to use our two projectors that project a back stage image of 21×12′ and a a top image of 12×8′.
§ If MUSIC be the food of love, play on!
Need music? We also have a Yamaha brand 88-key electric piano, complete with a suspension pedal, music stand, piano stool, and a light to read the music.
Do you know how important it is to have ample tech rehearsal time?
For a Full-Length (45-90 minute long play) we give you 4,5 hours for tech.
For a One-Act (20-45 minute long play) we give you 2,5 hours for tech.
For a Short (5-20 minute long piece) we give you 60 minute for tech.
§ What’s more important than advertising your show?
Large posters, detailed information, and a catchy blurb of your show… That’s more like it! You can copy the link and share that post without embarrassment. Additionally, we will send you a link for tickets that is easy to share with your family, friends, colleagues, and community. All cast and crew from all productions however earns free tickets to see all other shows in the festival
§ Prime performance hours
We give you only ideal prime time slots, 45 minutes of ample set-up time before performances, and since the festival runs for 3 months each production has time to breathe.
§ No seasonal volunteers
One of our principle team members is always at the theater to support you during your tech, box office times and performances. You will always see a familiar face! Feel free to ask for help or special guidance to make your performance a success. Your questions will be answered in a matter of hours from the festival’s team. You will never have to wait days for a response. Our staff is knowledgeable and experienced, providing you with real answers and a personal touch.
