MOSS HART AND KITTY CARLISLE HART NEW PLAY INITIATIVE
deadline: Jan 19th
website: http://www.hartnpi.org/hartnpi-submissions/
The Moss Hart & Kitty Carlisle Hart New Play Initiative builds upon the success of the Grove Theater Center New Play Initiative. And with productions in both Los Angeles and New York City, the Hart Initiative has a national impact.
What distinguishes the Hart Initiative is that we have a permanent home theater on the West Coast at GTC Burbank and, thanks to the Elysabeth Kleinhans Theatrical Foundation, a permanent home theater in New York City at 59E59 Theaters.
This dynamic partnership between the theaters and the Hart Initiative ensures that the playwrights gain the opportunity to have their work produced on both coasts helping position the plays for future success.
Submitted scripts must be in pdf format and include a character list (with potential doubling if necessary), a short synopsis, and a title page which includes the following information:
Name, Address, Primary Phone Number
Title of Play
Previous Productions (if any). Please include theater, location and dates of run.
Please also include a short resume or bio as a separate pdf file.
You may also include other supporting materials if you desire (reviews, etc).
————————————-
All playwrights are eligible to submit one script each year.
Scripts must meet the following criteria:
The play may not have had more than two productions.
The play must be unpublished.
The play cannot have had more than 10 performances in New York City.
The play must be able to be performed with 8 performers or less.
We’re sorry, but no musicals can be accepted at this time (this may change in later years).
The play must have no artistic encumbrances (so no individuals contractually attached to the piece).
Please email scripts to Kevin Cochran at kevin@gtc.org.
If you don’t receive a confirmation email within a few days, please follow up to make sure your submission was received.
We will be accepting scripts through January 19, 2018.

Deadline: Dec. 8th
Website: https://corkscrewfestival.org/apply/
Corkscrew Theater Festival is a curated presentation of new work by early career artists concentrated over four weeks in the summer of 2018 (July 9th-August 5th). Following its successful first year, the festival will contain five fully realized productions receiving eight performances each, and five “reading slots” for work to be heard publicly for the first time.
Corkscrew Festival seeks projects that demonstrate real collaboration, especially if they are being created through innovative collaborative models. Corkscrew aims to be particularly supportive to early-career artists: there are no fees for applying or participating in the festival; each production will receive 12-20 hours of tech time; shows will have a full hour to install their sets prior to each performance; and each production receives eight performances.
A full draft of a script submitted to our online Google Form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc5tZAdsYN1iLU-Z-SUlPq-rPc3ogBp...
(if you do not have gmail, please email corkscrewtheater@fortress-productions.com to get an application)
Please include the following information:
Lead artist bios (broadly defined as Playwright/creator, Director, Producer, any other notable creative partners).
One or more work samples (photos, audio, or video)
Short answers (100-200 words) to five open-ended questions about the project (see online application form)
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU (PRODUCTIONS)
Development. Each production will receive space to hold a reading or other developmental showing of their work in April. In addition, our artistic leadership - experienced playwrights, directors, producers accustomed to working in this setting - are here for you throughout the process. You’ll also be working alongside five other productions - a network big enough to be helpful, yet small enough to be personal.
Performances. Every production will have 8 performances over the course of the four weeks of the festival - and none of them will be at those random times, like 2pm on Tuesday or 4pm on Thursday. We’re talking about 8 performances on weekday evenings, or matinee, early evening, or evenings on weekends. We handle things like venue managers, front-of-house staff, and box office for the theater, which seats 70.
Tech Time. Every production will receive between 12-20 hours of tech time, with additional rehearsal time in the space for pickup rehearsals later in the run. Every show will have at least an hour to complete its changeover prior to opening the house.
Marketing. As a festival, we’re committed to getting your show seen. Beyond the built-in advantage of four other shows bringing audiences into the theater where you’ll be playing, we’re committed as a festival (with actual people and money) to marketing your show.
Affordability. There are no fees for applying or performing in Corkscrew Theater Festival, and we will split ticket revenues with each production.
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU (READINGS)
Development. We want to dare artists to dive into that passion project or flesh out that “unproducible” idea. We’re here for you over a series of one-on-one meetings, arranging informal gatherings to hear your work aloud, and providing a sounding board as you do your work heading into July.
Performances. With the understanding that nothing will be considered “finished,” participants in our Reading series will get ample time in the space ahead of their public showing to smooth out the kinks, get used to the space, and give the best representation of their work.
Follow-up. We’re experienced at parsing audience feedback, and helping you discover where your project should head next.
Affordability. There are no fees for applying or having your reading in Corkscrew Theater Festival. Tickets for the reading will be free.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Corkscrew is not limited in terms of genre, content, or theme. All kinds of theater (so long as you consider it theater) are welcome! The evaluative criteria we’ll use to choose the work presented in the festival are as follows:
Passion for the project
Unique perspective
Creation through a key collaborative relationship (either traditional, like director and playwright, or innovative, like a devising team, or writer and designer, or sisters/collaborators, or anything else!)
Belief in the relationship between development and production, and clear-cut goals for each phase.
