A cash prize (percentage of admissions receipts) will be awarded to the winning playwright for the Best Play based on audience vote. A judging panel will vote on the following categories and certificates will be awarded to the Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Creative Writing (playwright award). Rules: Deadline for submission, Friday, April 10, 2020 Plays must be submitted in pdf form by email to lslittle@wideopenwest.com Note: Dover Players' plays are performed in a church sanctuary (no stage curtain), therefore space is limited. We do provide side curtains for actor and actress entries/exits to and from the stage. Keep this in mind when submitting your play. (A diagram of the performance space is available upon request.) Plays must: Be G or PG rated Be written by and all rights owned by the playwright submitting the play Be produced without royalties, per agreement by the playwright Require no more than 5 actors (doubling of roles permitted) Have minimal props, setting and sound/lights (due to space limitations) Be able to be performed in approximately 10 minutes Be limited to 1-3 play submissions per playwright Plays that were not performed during Dover Players 10 Minute Play Experience in 2019, may be resubmitted. If your play is selected and you do not live locally, the play will be directed by one of Dover Players' directors and cast through the Dover Players' audition process. If your play is selected and you do live locally, you may choose to direct and cast it yourself, OR you may have Dover Players direct it, cast it, or both. Criteria for selection: Plays will be selected based on quality, uniqueness, message, entertainment value and the ability to be performed in the theater space. All decisions of Dover Players on selection are final. For more information contact, Linda Little, Administrator for Dover Players at lslittle@wideopenwest.com
