Department of Theatre soliciting play submissions

In anticipation of the 2007 TheatreBrockport season, the Department of Theatre at SUNY College at Brockport is accepting scripts to be included in Festival of Ten V, the fifth biennial evening of 10-minute plays. Manuscripts received by the department go through a screening process to narrow the submissions to the final 10 selections. Those plays will be fully produced as part of the Festival of Ten V, currently scheduled for performances on February 23 through March 3, 2007.

Past entries have included local, regional and national playwrights, as well as those as far away as New Zealand. Plays and players from previous festivals have garnered acclaim and awards from statewide and national theatre organizations. A Playwrights Symposium will be held in conjunction with the second weekend of performances of the Festival of Ten V. During this weekend-long celebration of plays and playwriting, various workshops and panels will be given, with sessions geared to playwrights of all ages.

Plays to be submitted need to be postmarked by April 29, 2006, and sent to: New Plays V, Department of Theatre, SUNY College of Brockport, 350 New Campus Drive, Brockport, NY 14420.
