*NEW WORKS SOUGHT FOR BALDWIN-WALLACE COLLEGE*

*NEW PLAY FESTIVAL*

The Department of Theatre and Dance at Baldwin-Wallace College currently is
seeking submissions for the second New Play Festival to be produced in the
fall of 2011.

The first festival came about as a result of the theatre faculty’s desire to
provide meaningful opportunities for B-W theatre students, while dealing
with the current economy.



“Innovation in theatre throughout history has often, our of necessity,
happened as a result of financial restrictions.  What better way to
understand what is truly important in this art form than to deal with a
piece of work at its most basic level. The development of new works is vital
to the future of theatre in American and the students who participate in the
festival are, in a very real sense, pioneers, ” said Jeff Herrmann, chairman
of the department.



In preparation for the 2010 New Play Festival, the department invites
playwrights to submit plays for consideration to the B-W Theatre Play
Selection Committee.  Plays may cover any subject matter and should be from
10 minutes to 30 minutes in length. Submissions may be submitted
electronically to theatre at bw.edu or through “snail” mail to B-W Theatre Play
Selection Committee, 275 Eastland Rd., Berea, OH 44017-2088.

Submissions must be received by March 1. A decision on the plays selected
will be made by May 1.



For questions, call the theatre office at 440-826-2239.
