INDEPENDENT ACTORS THEATRE OF COLUMBIA seeks plays by women

web site

Independent Actors Theatre of Columbia, MO, is seeking short plays (max. 10-12 minutes) by women playwrights for its sixth annual short Women's Play Festival – "the plays are short, not the women."

Plays will be staged and produced by local women theatre directors and stage managers in March 2014. Plays of all styles and genres are welcomed. Because the emphasis is on new plays, previously produced work may be considered but preference will be given to plays that have had staged readings and/or are unproduced. Plays that feature minimal/flexible set and small casts are preferred. Plays selected for the Festival will be licensed through the playwrights.

Submissions and queries for further information should be sent electronically to artistic director Emily Rollie (e.rollie@iatheatre.org) by 30 September 2013. 

Please limit submissions to 2 plays per playwright. For more information about Independent Actors Theatre or the short Women's Play Festival please visit www.iatheatre.org.
