Blank Page Theatre Co. is looking for playwrights and directors for our 4th Annual Summer New Works Festival!!!
Blank Page Theatre Co. is a theater company whose mission is to raise questions about our social climate to facilitate conversations about the world that we find ourselves living in today.
Every year, Blank Page Theatre Co. picks a theme that reflects the social climate of the year and focuses on pieces and works that support the theme. This year's theme is: DEI
The new Trump administration has, through coercion and brute executive force, practically outlawed DEI initiatives in the United States. These programs have existed for years to bring America closer to an equitable country. The removal of these programs is the start of bringing the United States back to a bygone era. We are in search of plays that showcase all aspects of DEI (LGBTQIA Rights, Women’s Rights, BIPOC Rights, etc.). and speak to why they are so important for the future of our society
For Playwrights:
We are seeking 3/4 works to produce this summer:
2/3 Short Plays - 10-15-minute works
1 Longer Play- 20-60 minute works
You are welcome to attend the entirety of the rehearsal process, whether in person or on Zoom- we will make sure you can see your work in process!
For Directors:
We are looking for 2/3 directors who are willing to take on the shorter plays. These positions will be open to directors of all experience levels!
We are also looking for an assistant director for the longer work. If you are looking for some experience working with an experienced director, this is for you!
The summer festival is a workshop process. Be prepared to work closely with the actors, directors, and playwrights to adjust the shows over our three-week rehearsal process.
Playwrights and Directors will also be provided with high-quality show photographs, as well as a recorded livestream from one of the performances.
