EBE Ensemble is accepting submissions for their fourth annual new one-act play festival, Elephants on Parade 2011.
Between three and six plays will be selected for the festival, which will run for two or three weeks in April 2011 in New York City. Selected playwrights will receive a small stipend, be invited to participate in an audience talkback, and be featured in an online interview series surrounding the festival.
Submission Guidelines:
• One-Act plays, less than 25 minutes in length.
• Only electronic (emailed) submissions will be accepted.
• Playwrights may submit up to 2 plays for consideration. Both plays should be attached to the same email message.
• Plays may not have received their New York premiere (though readings, workshops, non-professional school productions, or productions outside of the New York metro area are allowed).
• Plays may have no more than 6 characters, and no more than 1 character may be outside of the ages of 16-35.
In addition to the play, all submissions should include:
• Full contact information (email, phone, and mailing address) in the body of the email.
• A writing resume (any other artistic resumes may also be included) attached.
• A brief synopsis (less than 150 words) in the body of the email.
• A complete scenic and character breakdown, including ages and any special requirements, in the body of the email.
