[NEohioPAL] Seeking Play Submissions

[Heather Utsler-Smith]

Talespinner Children's Theatre is re-launching our PLAYGround Series, this
time with a twist! We’re excited to be partnering with BorderLight
Festival, this year with a series of 10-15 minute plays, with the goal that
one (or more!) of these pieces will be invited to develop into a
full-length production in a future TCT season.

Here’s how it works:

   1.

   Submit a draft of your 10 minute play, or 10 minute excerpt/scene by the
   end of the day May 1st.
   1.

      This play may focus on an audience of children ages 0-5, or for
      children ages 5-12.
      2.

      Ideally, the focus of the play would fit into one of the following
      themes we’re exploring for future seasons:
      1.

         Historical figures, historical events
         2.

         Imagination and fantasy
         3.

         Child protagonists/child heroes
         3. At this time, we are *not* accepting materials based on stories
      that are outside of the public domain -- if you are interested
in adapting
      materials that are currently not publicly available, please
contact Heather
      at heather at talespinnercle.org for more information.
   2.

   Three to five plays will be chosen in the first week of May, and all
   submitting playwrights will be contacted by May 7th to communicate whether
   their piece has been selected.
   3.

   Selected pieces will be brought to life at the BorderLight Festival with
   some props, costumes, and simple scenery.
   4.

   During the PLAYGround performance, audiences will be invited to provide
   feedback on each piece, with special attention given to responses from
   children under the age of 16. This feedback will inform which play or plays
   are given the opportunity for further development, and a full production
   included in a future season.


Please email any questions to Heather Utsler-Smith at
heather at talespinnercle.org. All submissions may also be emailed to that
address.

We are looking forward to reading your materials, and can’t wait to “play”
soon!
