Sketchbook 14

web site

Collaboraction is now accepting script submissions of plays, devised theatre pieces and director applications for the 14th annual SKETCHBOOK Festival to take place May 22 through June 15, 2014.

We are looking for works that push the form of theatre in regards to content, environment and audience experience while exploring important social issues in innovative or provocative ways.

Chicago Playwright Ike Holter (Hit The Wall, Loom, and B-Side Studio) will be serving as Guest Curator and will be working alongside Collaboraction's Artistic Director, Anthony Moseley, in selecting the final SKETCHBOOK 2014 line-up.

Submissions must be world premieres and fall into on of the 3 following categories:

1. 3 minutes and under
2. 4 - 7 minutes
3. 8 - 20 minutes.

Writers and devisers: email a copy of play or 1 page devised theatre vision proposal with list collaborator names and bios.

Directors: email a copy of your resume and a cover letter.
Semi-finalist directors will then read the semi-finalist plays and submit 3 vision proposals for consideration.

All submissions should be emailed to sketchbook14@collaboraction.org.

Please include your full name, approximate length of piece, phone number and email address. Selected playwrights, directors and devisers will be contacted
starting in late November.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE OCT. 20th
