Mid Amer Theatre Conf Call For 10 Min Plays/Oct. 15th Deadline

Great Regional Conference!

SF

Call for ten-minute play scripts,

actors, directors and dramaturges

For the

PLAYWRITING SYMPOSIUM

The Playwriting Symposium of the Mid-America Theatre Conference seeks playwrights, actors, directors, and dramaturges to participate in our Mid-America Dramatists Lab, which produces a series of staged readings of ten-minute plays.

Taking our lead from the conference wide theme of "Poor Theatre," the ten-minute plays will speak, either thematically or stylistically, to the shifting aesthetic, political, and economic landscapes of playwriting and new work production in the new millennium.

This is a juried event, and the call for actors, directors, and dramaturges is directed primarily at professional and academic theatre artists who are either faculty or graduate students at colleges and universities seeking the opportunity to present their work to their peers.

The plays will be rehearsed and presented as concert readings at the conference with invited directors, actors, and dramaturges. All theatre artists who are selected to participate in this event must register for the conference; there is no funding from the conference for travel or lodging costs.
