CPT releases 17/18 New Play Development Request for Proposals...
by Beth Wood via NEohioPAL 23 May '17

23 May '17

Cleveland Public Theatre Announces 2017-2018 New Play Development Request for Proposals Deadline for submissions is Monday, June 12, 2017 CPT's New Play Development CPT's mission is to raise consciousness and nurture compassion through groundbreaking performances and life-changing educational programs. CPT's programming agenda is to produce work that is outside the mainstream, offering a much broader range of work available to the Cleveland public and expanding the impact and originality of theatre across the country. CPT strives to make work that is excellent, extraordinary and nationally competitive. Our new play development programs are based on our years of experience, community input and key principles of: focusing on artists; valuing diversity of approach, aesthetics and perspective; and balancing impact with investment. We envision CPT as a nationally recognized hub for the development of new theatre that is extraordinary, edgy and relevant. We hope to be a model for nurturing local talent in similar sized markets, the most regarded cultivator of new theatre for Cleveland audiences, a laboratory for promising research and investigation and a launcher of nationally significant new plays. Check out CPT's New Play Development Programs and applications below! If you're interested in submitting a proposal for CPT's New Play Development Programs and have questions, we encourage you to attend a free workshop to hone your proposal and application skills. The workshop will be this Saturday, May 27th at 12pm. If you would like to attend, you must RSVP to Associate Artistic Director, Beth Wood (bwood(a)cptonline.org<mailto:bwood@cptonline.org>) by Friday, May 26th at 2pm. Entry Point Every project is unique and has unique needs. Some playwrights need a director to work with, others just need time in the rehearsal room with their ensemble, or a way to share a short fragment and get feedback. Entry Point is a platform for artists to develop their work in the early to mid stages of creation. CPT will customize its support of projects and provide a festival forum to share that work with the public. The inaugural Entry Point in 2016 included staged readings, works-in-progress, open rehearsals and guest panel discussions featuring national leaders of our field in seven venues on the CPT campus. Audiences and artists traveled to different stages to experience new work representing a broad spectrum of style, aesthetic and content. Feedback at Entry Point is low-risk and focused on nurturing projects. TO APPLY: Entry Point Request for Proposals here<http://www.cptonline.org/entry-point-request-for-proposals-2017/> Test Flight Based on CPT's success with our Big Box series, Test Flight offers opportunities to artists who are interested in co-producing works with us. Test Flight is a multi-week series where artists are given the keys to the theatre to develop their projects to a workshop level. In addition to serving local artists, Test Flight will also be open to national and international artists who wish to come to Cleveland to develop their pieces. Feedback for this series will be specific to each project, developed by the artist and vetted/approved by CPT. TO APPLY: Test Flight Local Request for Proposals here<http://www.cptonline.org/test-flight-local-request-for-proposals-2017/>. TO APPLY: Test Flight Non-local Request for Proposals here<http://www.cptonline.org/test-flight-non-local-request-for-proposals-2017/>. Catapult The most extensive of CPT development programs, Catapult focuses on select projects that we believe have a high likelihood to be fully produced by CPT in the future. This program is intended to move projects from whatever point they are at, to being "production ready." Each process will be totally customized to the work. Projects may receive a series of readings, significant rehearsal time, workshop productions and/or invitational showings. Playwright/Creators of Catapult projects will receive the Nord Family Foundation Fellowship and, while developing their work, will play an active role in the life of the theatre. TO APPLY: Catapult Request for Proposals here<http://www.cptonline.org/catapult-request-for-proposals-2017/>. If you're interested in submitting a proposal for CPT's New Play Development Programs and have questions, we encourage you to attend a free workshop to hone your proposal and application skills. The workshop will be this Saturday, May 27th at 12pm. If you would like to attend, you must RSVP to Associate Artistic Director, Beth Wood (bwood(a)cptonline.org<mailto:bwood@cptonline.org>) by Friday, May 26th at 2pm.

Artists' Choice Submissions open--submit a script to produce on the Ohio Shakespeare Stage
by Tess Burgler via NEohioPAL 23 May '17

23 May '17

ARTISTS’ CHOICE SERIES AT OHIO SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL The purpose of this series is to allow fellow NE Ohio directors, playwrights, and designers an outlet for creative exploration at Ohio Shakespeare Festival. We encourage theatre artists to submit for consideration a play to produce for a limited run on the Henry C. Bishop Stage. We specifically seek exciting newer works, perhaps those not typically seen in the Ohio Shakes subscription series. Yet, all submissions must in some way tie into the tradition of classic theatre and/or storytelling, whether in theme, content, design, or interpretation. In short, while this project should be a daring and outside-the-box production for Ohio Shakespeare Festival, it should still fit our mission statement: to put excellent storytelling at the forefront of all we do. The performances will take place on November 3 and 4, 2017, 8:00pm. Rehearsals can begin no earlier than October 2. You will submit a proposed rehearsal schedule, but be prepared to work around the needs of the MainStage productions. Submissions are due August 1, 2017. The qualities of a successful submission include, but are not limited to the following: A title that can be easily produced in a blackbox style (i.e. without any extraordinary set, technical, or costume requirements). A production that has no more than 8 actors A fully realized cast list, and a designated director and stage manager A clear connection, in whatever creative capacity, to classic theatre/storytelling No longer than 2 hours, 15 minutes long in run-time A detailed proposed rehearsal schedule A title that likely would not be considered for the OSF subscription series. The theatre will provide: rights to the production (if applicable) advertisement basic lighting design basic sound design one light and/or sound operator some access to Ohio Shakespeare stock $500 stipend that must be spent on the production/artists involved You will provide: Rehearsal schedules, including a clear and organized tech period Actors Stage Manager Rehearsal and performance reports Speciality props/costumes Ohio Shakespeare Festival reserves the right to oversee the artistic product in regards to casting, staging, and design. In manners concerning safety, emotional and physical, Ohio Shakespeare Festival’s guidelines and directives will be held paramount throughout the rehearsal and performance process.
