HINDSIGHT 2020: A YEAR IN RETROSPECT CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The Access Theatre Project is excited to announce that it is now accepting
submissions for its “monologue festival” entitled Hindsight 2020: A Year in
Retrospect! The festival will feature original monologues written and
submitted by artists and residents of Northeast Ohio and will be presented
as a reflection on the events of the past year. The monologues will be
filmed in significant locations around Northeast Ohio and will be made
available for viewing in Mid-April.

We are seeking submissions of original, unpublished, not previously

loss of a loved one, teaching/dating/relationships/holidays during
COVID-19, healthcare and frontline work in 2020, attending a peaceful
protest, creating art/collaborating during the pandemic,
