To be considered for the Headwaters New Play Festival (Colorado), a play must never have had a professional production and the playwright must be available to attend the workshop week (August 23-27, 2016). One of our goals this year is to more accurately reflect the diversity of human experience by including a play by a female playwright. The Headwaters program is the source of new plays of the West: plays set in the current, historic, or mystic western United States; plays by playwrights originally from or living in the West; plays that deal with themes connected to the real or mythic West; and plays that re-imagine what “West” means.
The deadline for submissions for the 2016 Headwaters New Play Festival is February 28th, 2016. Responses will be sent out by March 15th, 2016. CRT will provide travel, housing, and a food stipend for the selected playwrights. Plays read at the festival will be considered for full production in CRT’s 2017 season. If you would like your play to be considered please submit:
- 10-20 page excerpt
- Cover sheet with your name, contact info, and a synopsis
Electronic versions are preferred. Hard copies should be mailed to: Creede Repertory Theatre, Attn: Headwaters, PO Box 269, Creede, CO 81130.
