in association with the Marcus Alonzo Hanna Foundation, in association with
the Tyler Durden Memorial Endowment, in association with CNN Fake News, in
association with the Association of Cleveland Cultural Associations, is
thrilled to whisper in your teddy bear's ear to announce our FIRST, totally
real, ANNUAL, seriously not making this up,* Imaginary Playwrights'
Festival!*


*What is the Manhattan Project Imaginary Playwrights' Festival?*

The Manhattan Project has always been committed to filling our stage with
diverse faces and voices, and we're continuing that mission by offering a
platform to America's *least *represented playwrights; those who do not
actually have faces or voices.

The Imaginary Playwrights' Festival will offer guidance and support to
imaginary playwrights as they work to bring their hypothetical plays from
the pretend page to the non-corporeal stage. Imaginary playwrights
will work with a daydream director and make-believe actors to create an
exciting, edgy, worthwhile play that will somehow appeal to mainstream
regional theatre audiences. Imaginary playwrights will each be assigned
their own dramaturg who will be helpful and informative.

Imaginary playwrights will also have the opportunity to take advantage of
exciting master classes taught by some of theatre's most thrilling
imaginary playwrights, including Mr Snuffleupagus, Harvey the Rabbit, and
America's favorite fairytale creature, Erin Mallon

Participation in The Imaginary Playwrights' Festival includes a $500
stipend for meals and magical blanket to protect you from the dark.

A Message from Our Literary Manager:

   - The Imaginary Playwrights' Festival is open to *imaginary* individuals
   only! Anyone who experiences physical reality is barred from submitting.
   That being said, all imaginary individuals are invited and encouraged to
   submit, including childhood imaginary friends, drug-induced hallucinations,
   and any of the three-million Trump Inauguration attendees.
   - Despite all evidence to the contrary, Stephen Miller is real, and
   therefore disqualified. Lock your door at night.
   - $35 submission fee NONNEGOTIABLE!
   - Plays must be submitted written on a selkie's coat without the
   author's name or contact info. A separate title page with name and contact
   info should be submitted on the wings of a dragonfly.
   - Musicals and children's plays will NOT be considered.



*Raise a Glass to The Marcus Alonzo Hanna Foundation!*
The Manhattan Project Imaginary Playwrights' Festival was made possible by
a generous $30,000 grant from the Marcus Alonzo Hanna Foundation.

The MAHF has been a steadfast patron of The Manhattan Project as well as
other beloved Cleveland institutions like the Ohio Pierogie Museum,
Snaketoberfest, and Frank Jackson's latest mayoral campaign!

*Note*: Imaginary playwrights receive $500 for food and magical blanket
expenses.  The rest of the graft--we mean grant is directed towards
supporting the Imaginary Playwrights' Festival in the form of imaginary
actor expenses, imaginary overhead, and a real live horse!

I'M GETTING A HORSE!!!  :)


Submit Now! Deadline is April 5*i* at 11:55pm.  Don't miss this amazing,
actually happening opportunity!

Many will put entering on their vision boards, few will win!
