Davidson Community Players announced recently that they are looking for local writers to submit a short play for their annual festival of season shorts. This is not currently posted on their website, but it was sent out via their newsletter, and I have confirmed directly with their Executive Director, Steve Kaliski that this is indeed happening. We would love to see of some of our writing geeks get involved – and we’ll be following up with info about the festival itself when it is available. Let the plays begin!
Submission Guidelines
- Original short plays between 8-12 pages
- Written for a small stage, with limited to no technical elements
- Incorporate themes, characters, or components that are inspired by the season (think spooky, Halloween, horror, autumn, etc)
- Special Twist: Each play should include a “movie title” of a horror movie in a line of dialogue. Audience members will be guessing the title in each play for a chance to win a prize. (example line of dialogue: “ignore The Birds, they will chirp all morning” or “you’re acting Psycho“)
- Please submit your play to [email protected] with the subject “Boos & Brews Play Submission”
- Format as a PDF script with your name and identifying information removed for a fair evaluation and the “movie title” you reference underlined in the script
- Submission deadline: August 31st at 11:59pm EST
