[NEohioPAL] Propose for CPT's 2011-2012 season

[Raymond Bobgan]

Dear NEOPAL artists,

CPT is planning the 2010-2011 Season, and once again I am reaching out for great ideas.

CPT is focused on new work that is surprising, unexpected, and somehow outside the realm of conventional theatre. With more than 10 full productions and 50 or so workshop productions by local artists (plus MANY readings), CPT is committed to supporting locally created work.

CPT is looking for proposals from North Eats Ohio artists. Proposals may be for world premieres, second or third US productions, radical re-visionings of classic plays, or other projects. (Or, if you don't really have a full project to propose but just want to send in an idea, we are open to that as well.)

Before sending a proposal:

*         please take time to  look at CPT's recent seasons-they are excellent examples of our programming choices

*         please get a sense of CPT's aesthetic and artistic sense-if you haven't seen a lot of shows at CPT, talk to people who have

*         please keep in mind CPT's financial limitations

*         please familiarize yourself with CPT's Big Box and Little Box series-your project may fit better with these series which have a separate proposal process

Proposals should be 1-3 pages long not including script or work samples and need to include:

*         a one page summary of the project, including info on why this project fits CPT's mission and why it's important to you as an artist

*         your sense of what state the project is in and a general plan to bring it to completion

*         a resume for all primary artists involved

*         additional materials that will help us get a sense of the project-copy of proposed script, sample of past work, video, storyboards...

Deadline for proposals is January 29.

If you are submitting an idea for a play that is already written by an outside artist, please keep in mind that others may be proposing the same script (IE just because you are suggesting the script does not mean that you have dibs on doing it at CPT). Also be aware that CPT does not comment on why proposals are not selected, though if requested we may make subjective artistic suggestions related to your project.

Please send your ideas electronically-to rbobgan at cptonline.org<mailto:rbobgan at cptonline.org>  It's best if video samples are up on Vimeo or another hi-res website, but if you need  to mail a dvd, that's ok too.

Thanks

Raymond
