SCDW seeks Local Playwrights
The Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop is seeking 10 minute, one act, and/or
excerpts from full length plays for its “Plays in Development” series to be
staged in May. The SCDW is focused on showcasing only local playwrights from
Sullivan, Orange and Ulster Counties. Pieces that are chosen may be directed
by the author (or a director of their choosing) or one of SCDW’s resident
directors.
Auditions will be held at the historic Rivoli Theatre in South
Fallsburg sometime in March. The deadline for submission is February 18. The
plan is for minimally staged readings to be presented in May with audience
feedback for the authors, directors and actors. Several of the plays will
then be chosen for fuller productions in September. This will be based on
both audience feedback and that of the producers, in conjunction with SCDW’s
Board of Directors.
If interested in submitting a piece, please send a PDF with a cover letter
including a short author bio to Jean Eifert jeaneifert334@gmail.com or
Peter Nastasi Peternastasi1@verizon.net.
