The CCBC Academic Theatre Program seeks short comedies

Website

Deadline: November 1, 2023

The CCBC Academic Theatre Program is producing a festival of short comedies in the Spring of 2024. We are looking for comedies that incorporate a vanity with a mirror.

Submission form at www.tinyurl.com/ccbcsubmitplay2023

We are looking for COMEDIES that incorporate a VANITY with a MIRROR. This does not have to be LITERAL. We encourage you to think about the wide-ranging and theatrical uses of a vanity!

In order to be considered, plays should be between one and 40 minutes in length and be able to be performed by four actors or fewer. The CCBC Academic Theatre program casts predominantly from our student body. This means age, race and gender-expression in casting reflect our student body.

Submissions will be accepted until November 1, 2023.

The first round of selected plays will receive a staged reading in December of 2023. From those scripts, we will select a final group of plays that will receive developmental support from a Dramaturg and the production team, as well as a fully staged performance and a modest stipend in Spring 2024.

We encourage a wide range of DIVERSE subjects, playwrights and characters! We encourage you to be bold, and of course, BE FUNNY.

Questions about the submission process or guidelines can be emailed to Julie Lewis at jlewis2(at)ccbcmd(dot)edu. Submissions will be accepted until November 1, 2023.
