Walden Theatre seeks plays for teens

web site

Walden Theatre, A TCG theatre and training center for young actors ages 8-18 in located in Louisville, Ky. is seeking submissions for our Slant Culture Series. In addition to our regular offerings of shows from Shakespeare to modern American classics, we produce one play a year in this series.The Slant Culture series presents new works by rising playwrights that feature complex teenage characters. The name Slant Culture comes from the laboratory practice of tilting a test tube to provide a greater area for growth, and Walden Theatre is using this series to challenge our young actors to approach character development by drawing directly from their own lives and those of their peers. Slant Culture launched in early 2010 with the regional premiere of When In Disgrace (Haply I Think on Thee) by Damon Krometis, a play based on a real-life teen tragedy and written entirely in iambic pentameter.
Since we are a private not-for-profit not affiliated with any school system, Walden is in an unique position to introduce to our students new work that they would not, otherwise have a chance to perform. Adult language and adult situations are something our students encounter every day in their real lives and therefore we believe, if the piece has value, we have a duty to present these pieces as a regular part of our season.


Submission Guidlines
Full length play, 6-12 characters - most, if not all teen aged.
Comedy or drama. Please no musicals
Unpublished. It can have had previous productions
Please submit scripts electronically ONLY in PDF or WORD document format.
Please Include one page synopsis and character breakdown.
Deadline for submissions: August 1.
Performance dates: November 10-19, 2011
There will be a $600.00 stipend to the chosen playwrite.

NYCPlaywrights testimonials!

Rich Espey, Dramatists Guild D.C./Baltimore Region Co-Representative:

NYC Playwrights' postings of submission opportunities have been a tremendous resource for me. I've been fortunate to have had numerous productions result from opportunities I first learned about from the NYC Playwrights website.

I visited an NYC Playwrights meeting a number of years ago and so admired the process that I decided to apply their format to the group I facilitate: the Playwrights Group of Baltimore. I'm glad I did!


Rich's web site




Tom Tirney, Board President, Philadelphia Dramatists Center & Philadelphia Regional Representative, Dramatists Guild of America:

NYCPlaywrights is a reliable resource on the net for dramatist opportunities and exchanges. Nancy (McClernan) also provides lots of opportunities in pre-development as well for playwrights to hear their work and she's been a tireless advocate for dramatist rights. Rock on!

Kentucky Women Writers Conference seeks scripts from women

web site

The Kentucky Women Writers Conference (KWWC) will award $500 and a full theatrical production to the winner of its new Prize for Women Playwrights. Balagula Theatre in Lexington will produce the winning script as a world premiere in early 2012.

"The purpose of this prize is to bring more scripts by women to the stage, and we hope to award it annually," says Kentucky Women Writers Conference Director Julie Kuzneski Wrinn. "We chose Balagula as our partnering theater because of its impressive track record of producing socially conscious, thematically ambitious plays, both new and classic repertory. We also liked their mission as an actors’ theater, since we are especially seeking new work that creates compelling roles for women actors."

Quality roles for women will be judging criteria, though literary merit and theatrical potential are the foremost considerations for the new prize. A judging panel of theater professionals and representatives from both the Kentucky Women Writers Conference and Balagula will select semifinalists, and the panel hopes to secure a renowned woman playwright to choose a winner.

The Kentucky Women Writers Conference is a program of the University of Kentucky and is the longest running event of its kind in the country. Playwriting has not been a significant focus of the conference since its first decade, when it featured Women’s Experimental Theatre (1983), Split Britches Theatre Group (1984), Theatre Workshop of Louisville (1986), and Spiderwoman Theatre (1990). The Prize for Women Playwrights aims to revive a commitment to professional support for female playwrights. "We view this contest as a return to our roots," explains Wrinn.

"Playwrights often find themselves straddling both the literary and theater worlds, never wholly belonging to one or the other," says Candace Chaney, contributing theater critic to the Lexington Herald-Leader. "The KWWC Prize for Women Playwrights corrects this unintentional marginalization by welcoming women playwrights into the fold of writers it supports and encouraging a unique collaboration with the theater industry."

"What’s more, it is a laudable regional effort to counter a troubling national phenomenon—the theater industry’s dearth of productions by female playwrights," says Chaney. "A New York Times report about a 2009 Princeton study revealed that not only are male playwrights writing more plays than their female counterparts, but they also enjoy more productions and longer runs, even in theaters led by women artistic directors. We still don’t know all of the reasons behind this disparity, but partnerships like KWWC’s and Balagula’s make important inroads toward remedying it."

Natasha Williams, the only female artistic director of adult theater in Lexington, emphasizes the contest’s collaborative nature as an artistic boon for both the winning playwright and the producing theater. "The exciting process of co-creating will start in September after the winner is announced and go through a series of workshops and rehearsals, culminating in the early 2012 production. It is the kind of collaboration that feeds the talent and creativity of the artists’ ensemble in the most inspiring way possible," says Williams. "For an ambitious theater that aims to contribute to the overall development of the art of theater, this is a dream come true."

The competition is open to all women playwrights, with no restrictions on age, residence or experience. One-act or full-length scripts with a running time of between 45 and 90 minutes that have not been published or produced are eligible.

Submissions must be postmarked by July 1, 2011.

Submissions should be sent to
232 East Maxwell Street
Lexington, KY 40506-0344.

For guidelines and entry forms, visit www.kentuckywomenwriters.org. A winner will be announced Sept. 1, 2011.

Balagula Theatre is a professional company dedicated to delivering intelligent, innovative and inspiring theater to audiences in Kentucky and beyond. The company was formed in 2003 from a collective of local actors and artists seeking new direction and autonomy of artistic expression, and it has produced more than 50 plays. For more information, visit www.beetnik.com.

Authors to be featured at the Kentucky Women Writers Conference, scheduled for Sept. 16–17, 2011, will be announced at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 24, at the "Halfway to the Women Writers Conference" celebration at Regatta Seafood Grille, 161 Lexington Green Circle. This event will include a reading by Louisville poet Lynnell Edwards at 7 p.m. Edwards is among the writers who will teach a writing workshop at the September conference. Regatta is beside Joseph-Beth Booksellers, and books by 2011 presenters will be available for purchase.

The Macy's New Play Prize for Young Audiences


The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park commissions a new play each year as the winner of the Macy's New Play Prize for Young Audiences. In addition to a $5,000 commission fee, the Playhouse brings the playwright to Cincinnati for both the development process and production of the work.

Requirements:

The completed script will be produced by the Playhouse’s outreach program and toured by our intern company to schools and community centers. Therefore:

The play should be 50-55 minutes in length.
The play should be written and targeted to a specific audience of lower elementary (K-3), upper elementary (3-6), middle or high school students.
It should be able to tour in a van and have minimal technical requirements.
It should be suitable for a cast of three to six actors (who are generally between 25 – 30 years of age); however, actors can play multiple roles of various ages.
It probably should not be a musical.

Submission Guidelines:

The play cannot have been produced previously.
If the play is an adaptation of copyrighted material; copyright must have been secured.
If the play is a literal adaptation (as opposed to a significant adaptation), it must be a work never previously adapted for the stage.
Playwrights should send a resume, a copy of another play written for children, a story outline of the proposed project and two to three pages of dialogue (if available).

Playwrights who previously have submitted work are encouraged to submit another proposal. This project is made possible through generous grants from the Macy's Fund of the Federated Department Stores Foundation.
