Stemming from traditional legends and myths and adapting to a multicultural world, the Bigfoot by Moonlight Play Festival is a call to our audiences and artists to celebrate and share stories from our own back yard that define and challenge the essence and perceptions of who we are as a diverse community of storytellers and theatre-makers sharing the future together.
The structure of the festival will mirror stories, plays, and legends that have been performed for audience throughout the course of human existence: sitting around a campfire watching a narrative being presented and sharing in the communal act of performance.
THE PURPOSE
To promote Theatre as an artistic medium for expression.
To give voice to emerging (and established) playwrights, directors, performers, designers, and theatre-makers in the Inland Northwest area.
To promote the tradition of storytelling and legend-making; specifically the legends surrounding Bigfoot (in the legends various regional and cultural permutations).
To inspire and encourage the next generation of theatre-makers to explore community and community-building through the medium of theatre and storytelling.
Bigfoot by Moonlight Play Festival
Contest Rules
Plays may be on any subject and written in any style.
Plays should incorporate Bigfoot in some meaningful way for consideration. The incorporation can be either direct (with Bigfoot as an active part of the narrative) or indirect (where Bigfoot only has some limited connection to the action of the piece). As long as the play involves Bigfoot, then it is eligible for consideration. We will also accept plays dealing with Sasquatch, Sésquac, Yeti, Abominable Snowman, Yowie, Almas, Skunk Ape, Grassman, Wendigo, Orang Pendek, Mapingauri, or Yeren.
Plays produced in the festival will be subject to the limitations of the performance space, and may require slight alterations – playwrights will be consulted before any changes or adaptations are made.
Play must not exceed 30 minutes - shorter works are preferred. Time will be strictly enforced.
Playwrights must hold the copyright for the work submitted.
Plays will be judged as to style, content, concept, and relationship to Bigfoot. Both the playwright’s use of Bigfoot and the overall “theatricality” of the piece will be judged.
Multiple entries may be submitted by an author.
Hard Copy or emailed PDF Submissions are accepted.
There is NO Submission fee.
Plays should be written using Dramatists Guild Format.
