New Carpa Theater Company in Phoenix, Arizona, is soliciting short-play scripts, monologues, play excerpts and performance pieces, 5 to 10 minutes long, to be presented as a part of the "Performing 1070 Short-Play Festival" to be held March 30 at Arizona State University West as part of the 8th Annual Border Justice event and on the grounds of the Arizona State Capitol March 31.
The purpose of this short-play festival is to highlight the effects of a series of draconian, state-based immigration-related legislation enacted or proposed in Arizona over the past decade, culminating in the signing of SB 1070 by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer
All pieces should speak to the passage of the bill or related topics and the impact on immigrants and our current and longstanding national debate of the issue. The submission deadline is midnight, February 18, 2011.
General Guidelines and Information:
· All scripts must be typed and delivered via e-mail to info@newcarpa.org or mailed to New Carpa Theater Co., 15017 S. 28th Street, Phoenix, AZ. Please not send original copies of your scripts. Submissions cannot be returned. (Sorry, we just don't have the staff. ) We will consider 5- to 10-minute scripts, monologues, play excerpts or performance pieces. Scripts may be submitted in English or Spanish.
· Eight to 10 short plays/performance pieces will be selected for staging on the evening of March 30 at ASU West and at the State Capitol, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., on March 31, 2011. (Additional local and national performances may be scheduled.)
· Playwrights retain all rights to their work.
· A five-member panel of local playwrights/writers/producers will select the plays to be performed.
· A team of local actors, directors and crew will be assembled to stage the plays -- though playwrights/producers have the option of making advance arrangements to provide their own crew and performers. Sets and costuming will be minimal.
· None of the theater artists, crew or producers will receive compensation or royalties.
· Please note that the performances at the Arizona State Capitol will be staged outdoors and will be open to the general public.
A Message from New Carpa Theater Co.
The purpose of this short-play festival is to highlight the effects of a series of draconian, state-based immigration-related legislation enacted or proposed in Arizona over the past decade, culminating in the signing of SB 1070 by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer. This is a non-partisan, grassroots, community-based theater project designed to provide theater and performance artists an opportunity to express their views on one of the most compelling human and civil rights issues of our time. -- James E.
