During the week, they are given full use of the TCT rehearsal space, stage, and access to puppets, props, and costumes. PLAYground gives Cleveland-area writers a chance to put their work up on its feet, to help provide development of ideas, and exposure to the public. Plays submitted to PLAYground may be considered for future, full-stage production by TCT. *WHAT:* PLAYground gives local writers a chance to develop their work in a professional environment, with support from TCT. After a week's rehearsal, the workshop piece will be presented to the public in two performances over one weekend. *HOW:* TCT will provide directors, stage managers, and actors--age 16 and up, rehearsal and performance space, their prop and puppet stock, and costumes.

Performances take place Saturdays, July 9th & 16th, and Sundays, July 10th & 17th. Each play will get two performances, and fully moderated talk-backs. *CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:* Deadline: March 1, 2016 Submit: A preliminary script, with a list of characters, and a synopsis. It is understood that re-writes will happen between acceptance and rehearsals, but any major changes must be approved by TCT, as the work accepted must be recognizable by beginning of the program.

Please make sure that your name and contact information--including email--is printed clearly on the front page of the submission. Submissions not clearly labeled will not be considered. *CRITERIA:* Writers must be based in the Cleveland area. Out of state or out of region submissions will not be accepted for this program.

Scripts must be an adaptation of, or based on, an international folktale, faerie tale, mythology, or work from another discipline (ie. ballet, opera, orchestra, literature.)

All materials on which work is based must be noted for reference. (ie: "this work is based on the German folktale, Ashputel.") Writers should be willing to work collaboratively with TCT and the artists involved in the program, and be available for all rehearsals and performances in the program. Submitting writers can not have had a full production in any TCT producing season. Folksongs or appropriate music can be included, but orchestration and instrumentation must all be able to be produced vocally, or with alternate, available, creative instruments.

Playwriting Workshop with Dale Heinen (Playwrights Local / Literary Cleveland)
by Playwrights Local via NEohioPAL 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Playwrights Local 4181 proudly presents its first playwriting workshop with Literary Cleveland! Registration is open for this four-session course beginning Thursday, March 3rd at Pilgrim Congregational Church in Tremont. This hands-on workshop will be led by Playwright Local Director in Residence Dale Heinen, who’s previously taught playwriting at universities and theatres in London and Brazil. Dale’s work in new-play development includes many years as staff dramaturg and associate at Soho Theatre, a premiere new writing theater in London’s West End. In addition, Dale’s teaching is informed by extensive experience as a director in Chicago, Cleveland, New York, London and Glasgow. Entitled “Finding the Spark,” this workshop is equally appropriate for those who have written a play and for those new to playwriting. Each week will delve into a different element of the craft: language, theatricality, character, and story. Every session will give you the chance to produce new work through in-class writing prompts, and offer you opportunities to receive feedback on new or old work. By the end of the four session workshop you will have gained a wide range of entry points for generating a play, enhanced your craft, and attained a clearer view of the theatrical and personal points of view that inform your work as a playwright. Registration is $60 ($50 for Lit Cleveland members). Find out more and sign up at: http://www.litcleveland.org/finding-the-spark-a-playwriting-workshop.html
