Possible Submission Guidelines
Again, up for critique! My comments in red.
Dear POV Playwrights,
Thank you for being a part of the unique and exciting project. We at PushPush and the theatrical community in Atlanta are thrilled to begin.
Below you'll find key info about how the project will work, and a timeline of what we'll need from you when. Also, submission guidelines for your short plays.
WHAT: Ten international writers producing a short play on the theme: the US's role and reputation in the world. (is this a suitable theme, too broad, too specific?)
WHY: As many of you put together, POV stands for Point Of View, and that's what we want. We want YOUR perspective, YOUR creativity, and YOUR ideas. Even though the theme is North American we want YOUR opinions about what that means. We also want to really work together and combine ideas, collaborate on themes that are bigger than any one person or country.
WHEN: We will workshop/produce these plays this summere at PushPush Theatre
WHO: You, as the writers, and myriad Atlanta actors, directors, and designers
WHERE: Online. Though the productions will be at PushPush we want the writing process to happen online at The POV Project Blog (www.thepovproject.blogspot.com). THis means we can all collaborate, discuss, and discover online, together instead of each writer being cooped up and just "turning in" a play. We want to be able to actually communicate, explore, and take part in the whole of this project.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
1) Plays can be no longer than 15 minutes running time. Plays can be any length inside of that.
2) Play should have no more than 6 actors
3) Plays must come from writers living outside the US (is this appropriate, do recent immigrants to the US, or dual-citizens count?)
4) Plays must be in appropraite format, and include title page with all contact information
5) All plays should be new and unproduced
6) Plays should be free of royalties
TIMELINE:
April 25th - Invite Playwrights and Launch Blog
Jun 1st - First drafts emailed to Lauren
June 7- Readings at PushPush, beginning of rehearsals
August - Workshop Performances
More About The Blog:
Once you have an idea or decide you want to participate, log on to our blog, look at the resources and links, and post so we know you're out there. That way we can all see who'se writing about what and from where. Throw and idea out to other writers and see what kind of discussion happens. Talk about your process. Talk about what a crazy idea this is and can't figure out why you're doing it. We'll get the actor and directors blogging too, so we can all meet virtually. Chat. Mingle. Create!
Renumeration: Each writer chosen to be produced will recieve atleaast $100 US Dollars as renumeration, as well as an invaluable opportunity to collaborate and share your work.
