The Provincetown Theater Company announces a call for submissions from New England playwrights for its 2010 Fall Playwrights’ Festival which will be held November 5, 6, & 7 and 12, 13, & 14. Submissions will be considered in the following categories:

A. Ten Minute Plays – running time no longer than 10 minutes.
B. One-Act plays – running time approximately 30 minutes.
Full-length plays will not be accepted at this time, but will be called for prior to the next Winter Reading Series.
This festival is open to playwrights who live full or part time in New England. Please note:
1. Playwrights are expected to be present for at least one post-performance talkback and are welcome to be involved in director selection, auditions, tech rehearsals, and performances.
2. Only non-Equity actors may be cast.
3. Plays should have no more than 5 characters.
4. Plays will be staged in a black box setting with minimal technical assistance.
5. The Festival set will include :
� Cubes (2-3, which can represent beds, couches, table and chairs, etc.)
� a backdrop onto which light could be projected
6. Plays may use these or not, but may not add any other set pieces.

Props which can be hand carried by the actors may be used.
7. Playwrights may submit only ONE play. (Since we do not charge a reading fee and expect a large number of submissions, please do not send one play in each category. If you do, both plays will be disqualified.)
8. Only plays that have NOT been previously produced are eligible. Plays that have only been given previous readings WILL be considered.
9. The name of the playwright should not appear on the script. Please include one cover sheet with the title of the play, playwright’s name, and playwright’s contact information (phone, email, address). We prefer electronic submissions, sent to: operations@provincetowntheater.com.
Please put “Fall Festival” in the subject line. Alternatively, include the cover with three copies of the play in manuscript form addressed to: The Provincetown Theater 238 Bradford Street, Provincetown, MA 02657.

Chosen playwrights, directors, and casts will be given a year’s membership, gratis, to the Provincetown Theater Company.
