Seeking Female-Identifying Playwrights For Short Play Festival

web site

Dark Matter Productions is seeking playwrights for SMASH!, its second annual short play series, in association with the Future Is Female Festival. SMASH! is a night of short plays featuring work by six fierce female-identifying playwrights smashing the patriarchy, the bourgeois and the establishment in 2017.

Plays must be 10-15 minutes in length

Plays should require no more than 3 actors, but number of characters is unlimited (our goal is to use no more than 3 men and 3 women for the entire series)

All participants must be non-union
Each accepted playwright will receive a prompt with keywords that will be used to inspire the content of their piece. Some examples of guiding words:
  • Nasty woman
  • Melania Trump
  • Ivanka Trump
  • Hillary Clinton
  • Gender pay gap
  • Birth control
  • THINX
  • Cat calling
The FIF Festival takes place in March 2017. SMASH! will be performed on Friday March 3, 2017 @8pm at TheatreLab, 357 W 36th St, New York, NY 10018

Please send a short bio and/or website and social media handles along with a writing sample to Jordan@darkmatternyc.org to be considered. Please submit no later than EOD on January 23.
