WTP Summer Series

When: July, 2008

Open to: All Affiliates are eligible; plays are selected by the Managing Artistic Director

WTP, in conjunction with Actor's Express, will present open-to-the-public, fully rehearsed, staged readings of full-length (or related one-act) plays. Any WTP Affiliate writer is eligible to submit plays for consideration for this series. Plays selected for this series must have previously undergone significant development. Preference will be given to those scripts which have gone through both the MNCS and FDOD processes.

Each play will have a paid, professional director and cast, a dramaturg when available, will receive a week-long workshop in which revision work is required of the playwright, and be presented to the public on two or more occasions.

If your play is selected you must:
  • Furnish a clean master copy of the text. WTP will copy and distribute scripts to each person involved in the reading.
  • Be present at each workshop and all rehearsals to answer questions and make edits as desired.
  • Be present at all performances to participate in a moderated feedback session.
Writers whose work is selected receive a small royalty for the use of their play and two (2) complimentary tickets to each performance.  Admission is $10 for the general public; Working Title Affiliates $8. Participating playwrights are encouraged to offer complimentary tickets to representatives of the theatre industry who may be potential producers of their play.
