<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">CPT is again seeking proposals for Test Flight, our
multi-week play development series, which offers artists and groups from all
over the world the opportunity to co-produce workshop productions of theatre,
dance, performance art, music, or genre-defying performances. Those artists and
groups chosen to participate in Test Flight receive professional mentorship and
support as they experiment throughout the process.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">We are searching for work that is outside the mainstream
aesthetically, thematically, or in the creative process. This series is for
work that is <i>beyond staged reading or rough draft, but not yet ready for full
production.</i> Test Flight is about moving projects forward, so we are interested
in projects that have a sense of trajectory, direction, or plan to move to the
next step after Test Flight.</p>
