Deadline: none specified
The outdoor reading series is intended for new work or adaptation in development, particularly works that are not served best by some traditional theatrical avenue, or by zoom. Immersive work or plays written for non traditional theatre spaces are encouraged. Participants may include playwrights, poets, performers, musicians, directors and a select group of invited responder/participants. Readings will be followed by feedback/Q & A with invited participants.
We are seeking work that is a little "out there." Work that connects to outdoor spaces, urban or natural. Work that challenges our expectations of what a play is. A live poem. A ritual. A participatory experience. A song that can't be recorded. A play in conversation with its setting. Language or content does not have to be experimental in the "experimental theatre" sense.
Work can be early in development, as the fire pit is intended to serve the artist in bringing the art to life, out loud. These are informal readings to serve the development of post-COVID theatre in all its forms.
The 2021 Fall reading series will be held outdoors in Montclair, NJ.
