Playwrights' Opportunity: Independent Submarine

Seeking Submissions
Independent Submarine Productions of Cambridge MA is seeking submissions for our festival of original solo performances entitled ONE by ONE (1 X 1).

Independent Submarine is dedicated to presenting offbeat, original, and little-seen works for a general audience. We are especially fond of black comedy and tragic-comedy, drawing from the off-off-Broadway tradition.

Previous productions include Nicky Silver∂s Pterodactyls; The Elephant Man by Bernard Pomerance; Psycho Beach Party and Vampire Lesbians of Sodom by Charles Busch; an adaptation of David Foster Wallace∂s Brief Interviews With Hideous Men; and Shakespeare∂s Richard III. We have also produced annual festivals celebrating local playwriting talent, notably 2003∂s themed play cycle The Seven Deadly Sins.

Guidelines

€ Material must be original, meaning the writer/performer submitting the work is the author. Preference will be given to performers who have composed their own piece, though submissions from writer/performer teams will be accepted.
€ Performances must be for one single performer.
€ Performance must be between 1 and 20 minutes in length.
€ Please limit or simplify your technical and scenic demands.
€ Actor/Writer must be prepared to rehearse the piece independently in preparation for performance on May 13 or 14 2005. If directorial assistance is needed, Independent Submarine will provide the performer/composer with a director.
€ Theatrical performance of any type is welcome - magic, ventriloquism, dance, performance art, drama, storytelling, etc. Preference will, however, be given to solo plays and monologues. No music or film/video please, unless it∂s placed in the context of a live theatrical presentation.

Please submit the following:
1) Documentation of your piece: a script, a dance score, a video or a VERY DETAILED proposal.
2) A cover letter including your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, a brief description of your piece and your estimated running time.
3) A short bio/resume.

Please note: if you want your materials returned, included a self-addressed stamped envelope with appropriate postage.


Deadline March 15 2005

Selected pieces will be announced via email on March 21 2005.
