Carrollwood Players Theatre announces an open call for submissions of original monologues and original songs for QUARANTINE: THE MUSICAL
Quarantine: The Musical is a collaborative project for writers, actors, singers, and musicians. This special production will be presented live by Carrollwood Players Theatre in mid to late June, 2020.
While it is possible this performance MAY be presented on stage for a live audience, we anticipate this original work will be presented as a live virtual online performance.
Therefore, we request submissions that are both created by, and intended to be performed by, the submitter(s). Your submission of your monologue(s) and/or original song(s) will also be considered your audition.
We are seeking original material addressing all aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are seeking a variety of material, ranging from comedic to dramatic. All submissions, including songs, should be suitable as a stand alone piece. Selected pieces will be compiled together by the director to create Quarantine: The Musical.
