XYZ 4: FESTIVAL OF NEW WORKS

web site

About Face Theatre is happy to announce that it is now accepting scripts for selection for XYZ.4: Festival of New Works. This year, we have chosen Rube Goldberg and his incredible machines as a starting place for the festival. Let this inspire your choice of submission. Plays selected for the festival will be given seated or staged readings with the support of professional directors and actors.

TYPES OF MATERIAL:
Full length scripts at any stage of development. New works that have not seen full production (readings and workshops are okay). In addition to plays, we welcome performance pieces that are in late stages of development. Material that challenges expectations and ideas about gender and sexuality in historical or contemporary contexts. Scripts that break traditional ideas about dramatic form, structure and presentation.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES:
Electronic submissions only. Documents in PDF or DOC formats accepted. In addition to a script, performance pieces can include video links to youtube, vimeo or other online platform. Panel will review video excerpts from 2-10 mins in length. In your email, attach completed submission form, full script, resume/bio and link if appropriate. . Please remove your name and contact information from every page of your script; display only the title on the title page.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE:
January 8th, 2012. Selections announced May 2012.
