the 5th Annual Women’s Work Festival
A Works-In-Progress Play Reading Series
Co-produced by She Said Yes!, RCA Theatre and White Rooster Theatre
in celebration of International Women’s Week, March 7-9, 2011
Theatre companies She Said Yes!, RCA Theatre and White Rooster Theatre are joining forces to present the fifth annual series of play readings by and about women, in celebration of International Women’s Week.
All submissions must be either by a female playwright or deal with a female character as the central figure. All plays must be unproduced, although previous workshops or readings of the work are permitted.
Scripts will be selected by a committee representing all three companies. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of the selection process via email no later than February 1st, 2011.
Each script will receive a one-day dramaturgical workshop with a professional cast and dramaturge, followed by a staged reading in St. John’s between March 7th and 9th, 2011. All playwrights, actors and dramaturges will receive a small honorarium for their work. The Festival does not cover any transportation or accommodations costs for out-of-town playwrights but your local arts council may provide travel grants for this purpose. All proceeds from the reading series will be donated to a local women’s shelter.
To submit your script
Submit an electronic copy of a full draft of your play in either Microsoft Word or PDF format, with an email indicating your telephone number, mailing address, and email address, as well as your reasons for applying to the Festival, to rcata@nfld.net (put Women’s Work Festival in the subject line).
Or deliver by hand between 9 am-5 pm, Monday-Friday, to Nicole Rousseau or Amy House, RCA Theatre, 223-233 Duckworth, Ste 202, above Haymarket Square, St. John’s NL.
All submissions must be received or postmarked by 5 pm on December 15th.
