[NEohioPAL] Fwd: Call for Original 20 Minute Plays!

[Brandi Eaton via NEohioPAL]

> 
> Western Reserve Playhouse is pleased to announce the inaugural "80 Minutes" New Works Festival!
> 
> We're currently looking for 20 minute plays that are ready for production. Have you written a ten minute play that maybe needed a little more time on/stage? Lengthen it to 20 Minutes! Or do you really love the characters you've created and want to explore them a bit more? Give us a fully fledged 20 minute piece about them.
> 
> We are currently seeking original, unpublished 20 Minute Plays to be featured in the festival. If the play that is being submitted has been previously performed (outside of a staged reading or a workshop) please include that information with your submission. While we will be engaging with the playwrights whose pieces will be performed, this is not an official workshop for these shows.
> 
> Our theme for this year is Relationships - romantic, familial, platonic, any kind of relationship you can think of.
> 
> Submissions are open now and the deadline for submitting is August 31st, 2017 at 11:59 PM EST. We are currently only seeking submissions from local playwrights (Northeast Ohio), but if there are  any questions about that please contact us.
> 
> Guidelines:
> 
> 1. The play must run 15 - 20 Minutes long. The maximum is 20 Minutes.
> 
> 2. The maximum number of actors involved in each play is 4. If there are additional characters that will be doubled, please indicate that information on the character sheet.
> 
> 3. Please include the following information in the Word Document or PDF: Name, Mailing Address, E-mail Address, Phone Number. Please also include a short synopsis and list of characters.
> 
> 4. Please submit your play as an attachment to an e-mail, sent to submissions at westernreserveplayhouse.org. Please put "2017 4x20 Submission" in the subject line.
> 
> 5. There is no fee for submission, but we ask that each playwright send no more than two scripts.
> 
> 6. If the playwright's script is chosen for the New Works Festival, the playwright grants Western Reserve Playhouse three (3) royalty-free performances on October 6, 7, and 8 2017.
