MTWorks’ FIRE-WORKS is our 10-15min short play competition featuring works that challenge our perception of current events that have us fired-up! For our upcoming season we are looking for plays that deal with the subject of GUN CONTROL.
The winning playwrights will be presented at our FIRE-WORKS benefit event performed by MTWorkers (We recommend using them as inspiration). FIRE-WORKS are fully staged (not a reading).
REQUIREMENTS:
We are currently interested in 10-15 min short plays.
Applicants must submit the following:
- A full copy of your play in word or pdf format.
- Synopsis.
- Plays must be inspired by the subject of GUN CONTROL
- Please get to know our MTWorkers and use them as a source of inspiration. If selected they are the ones who will be performing your play.
- If you applied for FIRE-WORKS before, you must submit a different play.
- You can only submit one play per year per program (it is OK to submit one play to FIRE-WORKS and one play to the National NewBorn Festival the same year).
- We are interested in plays that have not been produced in NY (Readings OK).
- All material must be emailed (all together in one email) to plays@mtworks.org with [FIREWORKS: title of the play and your name] on the subject line.
- If your contact information changes you are required to update your information by sending an email to plays@mtworks.org with [FIRE-WORKS: updated contact information for-your name] on the subject line.
Winners will be contacted around September.
