The Empty Head Theater Company is seeking new work for our annual Out of the Box Short Play Festival, taking place: August 28–29 & September 3, 4, 5 at The Ellis – Newburgh, NY
We are looking for original plays 30–40 minutes in length. Selected works will be developed in collaboration with our ensemble through a workshop process leading to full production.
We are specifically seeking plays of a social and political nature, engaging with issues affecting the local community of Newburgh as well as the broader challenges we face globally—think global, act local.
This is an opportunity for playwrights interested in:
- New work development
- Collaborative, ensemble-driven process
- Socially engaged and innovative theater
