New Play Fest 2017
CALLING ALL WRITERS!
The Adobe Rose Theatre
Needs YOU for our first annual
NEW PLAY FEST
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MARCH 15, 2017
UPDATE!! Due to popular demand, we are EXPANDING the scope of possibilities for submissions to our New Play Fest. Plays are no longer required to be set at a kitchen table and do not need to involve this particular presidential election. Nor do they need to be set during any particular historical period, in any particular country, or in any particular place. As long as it's the morning after an election of any kind, use all of your creative powers and tell us a story you find most compelling and relevant. Plays should still be limited to 4 characters or fewer, 10 minutes or less, and take place in one setting, with as few set and furniture requirements as possible, the morning after whichever election you find most compelling. Here are a few possibilities (but any others are great!): - High School Students in a cafe the morning after a school council election. - The morning after Hitler's election in Germany in 1933. - The morning after the Truman/Dewey election in 1948, when the infamous, and incorrect, headline "Dewey Defeats Truman" was published in the Chicago - Or, yes, the morning after Trump's victory. See below for additional details, and good luck!!CALLING ALL WRITERS! The Adobe Rose Theatre needs YOU!...FOR OUR FIRST ANNUAL "NEW PLAY FEST"... SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MARCH 15, 2017 We're announcing our first annual New Play Fest entitled “The Morning After.” We will produce seven short plays where we hope the artists will tell us about the lives of people we do not know, but should, in the aftermath an election, any election - in any time, any place, any country. Use all your creativity as far as the external circumstances of the play are concerned. So, write something. Tell us your unique story. Challenge us to learn from you, to understand your life, and lead us to a better America. Tell us how you feel – through farce, comedy, tragedy, and everything in between. Challenge us with unexpected events, places, characters, and points of view that illuminate defining and divisive moment in political history. Please submit your play electronically in a PDF format to artnewplayfest@gmail.com or by mail to: Adobe Rose Theatre ATTN: New Play Fest 1213B Parkway Drive Santa Fe, NM 87507 If submitting by snail mail, please include a self-addressed, stamped return envelope if you would like your script returned to you. All submissions must be received no later than March 15, 2017. Cover pages will be removed during review so that all plays are anonymous to the judges prior to selection of the winners. Seven winners will be chosen. The winners will be notified after April 15, 2017. The festival will run June 21-25, 2017, at The Adobe Rose. Plays will be: • 4 or fewer characters. • 10 minutes or less in length. • Set the morning after an election. Get in on this, and have a chance at getting your work produced!
