Performance Network Theatre seeks original scripts for Fireside Festival of New Works

Ann Arbor's Performance Network Theatre is now accepting submissions for the Fireside Festival of New Works, which will be held May 2 through10.

All submissions should be unproduced, full-length scripts by playwrights who are currently living in, or have close ties to, Michigan.

The Fireside Festival of New Works is a twice-yearly festival of staged readings, the purpose of which is to give emerging and established playwrights the opportunity to work closely with professional actors and directors, and see how a play works in front of an audience.

For those interested in submitting an original script, please send a 10-page script sample to David Wolber, Artistic Director of PNT. David can be reached at david@performancenetwork.org or 120 E. Huron St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104. (Email is preferred.) The deadline for submissions is March 17, 2010.
