Deadline December 31, 2018
This year's theme: 2 OPPOSITE ENDINGS
This is Sundog Theatre's 17th annual presentation of new and original, one-act plays about our favorite boats, the Staten Island Ferries.
Guidelines:
--Original plays not previously produced/published, with a signed note affirming that.
--10-30 minutes in length and set on the Staten Island Ferry.
--Contemporary, involving 2-3 characters and requiring no special set pieces other than benches or railings found on the Ferry, limited and easily accessible props, and no special sound or lighting.
--No overt and unnecessary sexual/violence situations and language since we cater to a broad audience.
--No musicals, long monologues, poetry, rants, or verse.
--As in life, a little humor is good.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Plays should be written with 2 brief endings. The endings should be 1-2 pages each
and have an opposite story line. One character will break the 4th wall-in character-
explain briefly the two ending choices, and ask the audience to vote on which one they wish to see.
Remuneration:Six authors will receive $100 each and be produced in our series of five February/March 2019 performances in Staten Island.
Submission:
--Please send two copies, bound or stapled, blind submission (removable cover page with title, author and contacts) to: Sundog Theatre, "Scenes 2019", PO Box 183, Staten Island, NY 10301
--Include the title of the play on each page.
--Submissions should include brief synopsis, play history, a 70-word bio and also full resume of the author.
--Should be postmarked from now until no later than December 31, 2018.
--Do not submit plays electronically.
--Questions: ferry@sundogtheatre.org. Susan Fenley, Producer
Notification:
Playwrights of selected plays will be contacted directly and their names listed on Sundog's website early in 2019.
