All Affiliates who meet the below listed guidelines are eligible; plays are selected by a committee of independent theatre professionals and the Managing Artistic Director.
WTP presents open-to-the-public roundtable workshops of new full-length plays still in development.
Three WTP Affiliates' scripts will be selected for development in two-phase roundtable workshops. A roundtable reading is a cold reading of a script with the playwright, a dramaturg/director, professional actors and guests. There is no rehearsal or staging; the focus is squarely on hearing the words and the story and working through the revealed problems.Submission Guidelines:
- One full-length play (45 page minimum) per playwright. Multiple submissions will not be accepted and will amount to the playwright being disqualified from the 2008 series.
- No more than six (6) characters unless doubling is a viable option. Selections are made solely at WTP's discretion.
- Scripts must have been developed through WTP's First Draft On Demand reading series, unless the playwright has already demonstrated a level of professionalism that has led to a past full production by a professional theatre.
- Scripts that have previously been selected for WTP's Summer Reading Series and/or WTP's former Work-In-Progress Reading Series are not eligible for the Playwrights Salon.
- No electronic submissions.
- Your playwright resume and cover letter should be submitted along with four (4) bound copies of the script to:
WTP
PO Box 585
Decatur, Georgia 30031-0585
Selections will be announced December 22, 2007, or no later than Christmas Day. :-D
