Deadline: September 25, 2020
Original Idiots proudly invites playwrights to join the inaugural run of The Generator. The Generator will gather a group of artists to power new work from first drafts to production-ready scripts. It will culminate with a series of staged readings on an outdoor and socially-distant evening in the early summer of 2021.
GOALS
To prepare exciting new scripts for the moment when the stages are ready for them.
To foster a safe and honest community of playwrights who may support each other and be supported through the process of completing their work.
SPECIFICATIONS
Playwrights may submit a first or early draft of an unproduced play by September 25, 2020. The Generator is a commitment to a 9-month process of group workshops to be led by Danielle Carroll (Lead Dramaturg) and Matt Jacobs (Original Idiots Artistic Director). All workshops will take place over Zoom for as long as that is the safest way to do so. Workshops will be scheduled to meet the convenience of all parties, approximately every six weeks, leading to a series of staged readings in early summer 2021.
Playwrights will be notified by Friday, October 16, 2020 if their play has been selected for The Generator. The first workshop will be in November 2020.
Artists will be paid a stipend for the time we spend in workshops.
The culmination event, as well as any potential in-person meetings, will be held in Brooklyn, NY.
Please submit your script and resume to submissions@originalidiots.org by September 25, 2020
