[Capdist-auditions] Submission and performance opportunity for Original 3-5 minute pieces inspired by Uncle Sam on June 27th at Troy Night Out, The Arts Center of the Capital Region - DEADLINE JUNE 16th!

[Sunny DaSilva]

calling all theatre Makers... Uncle sam wants you!

 

            On June 27th at Troy Night Out The Arts Center of the
Capital Region will be hosting an Uncle Sam Smack Down in our black box
theatre. We are asking for local theatre makers to send in an original
three to five minute performance piece that in some way represents or
reflects some aspect of the iconic meat packer turned myth, and son of
Troy, NY, Uncle Sam.  Be it inspiration, adoration, or protest, let
Uncle Sam be your muse. 

 

Here's the meat:

1. Time limit  of five minutes or less. This is the performance time.
Any piece sent that obviously goes over that length will not be
considered.

2. Deadline for submissions is June 16th, Monday, at 5pm. Selections
will be made by Thursday, June 19th.

3. You must provide the performers and all costumes and props for your
piece. 

4. You must be able to set up and clear the stage for your performance
quickly and cleanly.

5. You and your performers must be able to attend a rehearsal on Sunday
afternoon June 22, or Monday evening June 23rd at The Arts Center of the
Capital Region.

6. Performance slots will be decided by The Arts Center, so you will
need to be available from 5:30pm to 8:30 pm on Friday, June 27th.
Performance times defined by Wednesday, June 25th. 

7. The simpler the better. We have a stage and lights and a sound
system, but will not select a piece with excessive staging. 

8. You must be at the theatre and ready to perform 30 minutes prior to
your slot. 

9. No nudity or gratuitous sex, violence, self mutilation or open
flames.  This is intended for an adult audience, so language is fine. 

10. All performance mediums are welcome. Dance, song, puppets, spoken
word, monologue, play...bring it on! It just needs to be ORIGINAL, and
you need to be able to convey the idea of it in your submission. 

 

Send your submission, anticipated run time, and a brief synopsis of your
performance with contact information to: sunny at artscenteronline.org, or
snail mail to Sunny da Silva, Director of Education, 265 River Street,
Troy, NY 120180
