|  The 10,000 Lakes Theatre Festival
- a festival of new works
Submission Deadline is April 30, 2006.
The Festival will be held May 30 - June 1, 2006 at the Cedar Riverside People's
Center.
Mission:
The 10,000 Lakes Theatre Festival is designed to give staged readings of new
works and works in progress and promotes the development of new plays by
emerging playwrights. The Festival serves to increase the visibility of those
writers, and to encourage production of their work in the Twin Cities.
Submission Guidelines:
Playwrights are limited to one submission per year. To enter your play, you
must prepare a submission package containing the following:
Three (3) copies of your play. The first page of your play must contain
only the name of the play and the characters.
IMPORTANT: Your name should not appear anywhere on the play. (Judging
and selection are conducted anonymously). The pages should be numbered and the
name of the play should appear on each page of the play. Please include a 3x5 index
card with your name, address, phone number and email address.
Each copy of the play must be paper-clipped. No staples, plastic binders,
hard cover or other binding.
Staging must be simple in all technical areas. Musicals are not permitted.
We will accept plays from one to three acts in length, with running time not to
exceed three hours.
A self-addressed stamped response postcard or envelope required with all
submissions, and a non-refundable $15.00 processing fee payable by check or
money order, made out to Pigs Eye Theatre.
Previously produced plays are not eligible. Staged readings are not
considered production. Plays previously submitted to the Festival are not
eligible.
We're looking for plays that have not yet received a professional
production, and that the playwright feels is in need of development. We
accept proposals for the 10,000 Lakes Theatre Festival on a year-round
basis.
Plays selected will be developed in rehearsal for two to five days, and
then performed in front of a paying audience either once or twice. In
addition, it allows local playwrights to be involved in the rehearsal process
as an active participant, interacting with director and actors in a unique
collaboration. If the play is performed twice, a rehearsal between readings
allows the playwright to continue the play's development right up to the
final day of the project.
