Call for Plays Deadline: 5/1

The Seven: New Works Fest

June 18-21, 2009

Seven new ten minute plays. Seven different directors. And a stellar ensemble cast of New Mexico’s finest actors.

GUIDELINES FOR PLAY SUBMISSION
* Each script must be no more than ten pages long.
* Plays should be inspired by the theme That One Thing.
* Each playwright may submit up to two scripts.
* Previously submitted plays, plays that have received production and any unsolicited longer one-act or full-length plays are not accepted for consideration in The Seven.
* Each manuscript must include a title page with name, address, phone number, and e-mail.
The preferred way to get ‘em to us is via e-submission. We require a nominal $5 fee to offset print and distribution costs, which you can pay conveniently on-line here.
*To begin, click on the "Add to Cart" button on the website, which will place the required $5 fee in your Shopping Cart;
*Then, after you pay via credit card or PayPal, the displayed receipt will include a WWW address that allows you to upload your script. The receipt will also be Emailed to you automatically. Copy and paste this address into your web browser for a page that will permit you to upload your script(s).
*If this is your first time visiting our ticketing site, you’ll be asked to create a simple account that protects your transaction and allows us to contact you if something goes awry. All patron and artist information, including email addresses, are kept strictly confidential: FUSION never shares any information with any other organizations.
Alternatively, if this all sounds too high-tech or Big Brotherish to you, or if you don’t want to part with the $5, you may mail one copy each of up to two different submissions to:FUSION Theatre CompanyAttn: The Seven700 1st Street NWAlbuquerque, New Mexico 87102
(There is no submission fee with this option.)

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2009! Whether submitted electronically by midnight or postmarked for snail mail, that’s the firm deadline.

Entries will be acknowledged by e-mail once they have been received by our literary manager. All playwrights will be informed of the FUSION’s finalist selection no later than May 8; winners will be announced by May 15th. Staffing constraints prohibit our returning any submissions. The volume of scripts submitted hampers our ability to comment individually on each work; therefore we do not offer criticism.

Again this year, theatre management has agreed to provide a Jury Prize: a flight to lovely Albuquerque, NM to see your professionally produced play! (Jury comprised of nationally prominent theatre professionals and FUSION’s own literary staff.)
