[Margaret Hall]

Capital Repertory, Albany Announces
Next Act New Play Summit 
Call for Entries

Submissions are now being accepted for Capital Repertory Theatre's NEXT ACT
NEW PLAY SUMMIT!  

Next Act! is an expansion of Capital Repertory Theatre's commitment to the
development of new work, and is designed to complement the Upper Hudson
Valley's recent and future growth explosion in the fields of research and
technology.  The summit will directly reflect the theatre's mission, "to
create meaningful theatre generated from an authentic link to the
community."  Next Act! takes place November 2nd thru 4th, 2012 and will
feature readings of two never-before produced plays, and special events
throughout the weekend.

Capital Rep is particularly interested in scripts that showcase world events
as they impact the individual and society, highlighting the common threads
that bind the American culture together in a world that is defined more and
more by diversity.  The theatre will give preference to character driven
scripts that showcase technology's impact on humanity.

Multi-cultural and ethnically diverse plays welcome.
Comedy and Drama welcome!
(Please do not submit plays about the theatre.)

ELIGIBILITY
Eligible plays can not have been previously produced, though previous
readings are allowed.  No more than 7 characters.  (Please do not submit
works in which actors play multiple roles, unless it is a device used to
illuminate generations.)  No musicals.

Agent and non-agent submissions accepted.

Submission Deadline: END OF DAY - Monday July 16, 2012

HOW TO SUBMIT
Playwrights should submit a synopsis, character descriptions and the first
10 pages of their play with a photo/resume and bio.  Email your submission
to Margaret Hall, Assistant to the Artistic Director, at
mhall at capitalrep.org with NEXT ACT PLAY SUBMISSION in the subject line.

A small stipend and limited travel available for playwrights selected.

Electronic submissions preferred.

Capital Rep is a professional LORT D theatre, established in Albany in 1981.
