DRIFTWOOD PLAYERS FIFTH ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF SHORTS
SCHEDULE & SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: * guidelines have been revised this year
Submitted short plays must be less than 15 minutes long, centered on the theme transitions.
Submissions MUST NOT BE previously produced. Only one submission per author will be accepted.
Eight finalists will be chosen by a panel of readers. Reading will be blind, so AUTHOR NAME and other author information CANNOT BE ON THE PAGES OF THE PLAY but only on the cover page (which will not be distributed). Failure to comply will result in disqualification.
Rules of the game:
- DO NOT include the cover page (author’s name) as part of the main pdf (send as a separate pdf or in the text of the email)
- Pagination should begin on page 1 of the text. Please include name of play on each page
- Submit in pdf format by EMAIL.
- Use no more than 5 characters in your play.
- Be aware that selected plays will be staged with minimal sets, props, costumes, lights and sound.
The eight selected plays will be assigned a director (at random) who will cast actors and present the work as he/she sees fit.
The eight finalists have the chance to compete for an audience “peoples’ choice” award as well as judges’ awards.
Lastly, we are a community theater, so please no X-rated scripts. We simply can’t perform them for our audiences.
Accepting submissions - From now until March 15, 2014 at Noon. Finalists will be announced on May 1, 2014.
Submit by e-mail to: shortssubmissions@driftwoodplayers.com
Scripts will not be returned.
Good luck!
