Works for Fall 2016 - Spring 2017 programs accepted through May 15, 2016
CLEVELAND - March 8, 2016 - PRLog -- Playwrights Local 4181 announces its first open submission period, inviting residents of Northeast Ohio to submit one-act and full-length plays. All works will be considered for the company’s 2nd Annual Cleveland Playwrights Festival in late 2016, and for additional programs including its developmental Play Lab in early 2017. The deadline for entry is May 15, 2016. Early submissions are encouraged.
“As a playwrights’ center, it’s important to us that we’re accessible to all dramatic writers in the area,” said David Todd, Artistic Director of Playwrights Local. “An open call seemed the best way of ensuring that.”
All plays that are original and unproduced will be accepted, as will small-scale musicals and one-person shows. There will be no fee for submitting. “Making this year’s submissions free is another way of extending our range of connections,” Todd said. “It also simplifies the application process for the playwrights.”
Submissions will be accepted from playwrights age 18 or older who are permanent residents of Cuyahoga and its bordering counties. Selections will be announced on July 15, 2016. Complete guidelines and submission information are available at http://playwrightslocal.submittable.com/submit/55241.
