CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Call for submissions to TheatreOne’s Emerging Voices new play development program
Nanaimo, BC – TheatreOne’s Emerging Voices is now accepting submissions for their next season. Emerging Voices, now in its 20th year, is a series of workshops and staged readings of three new, original plays by local and regional playwrights. Participating playwrights benefit from dramaturgical support before, during and after the workshops, have the opportunity to engage with professional artists during a CAEA workshop and see their plays read before live audiences, receiving valuable feedback from actors and patrons.
Interested playwrights are invited to submit scripts to TheatreOne’s Artistic Associate at: ev@theatreone.ca. To meet eligibility criteria, playwrights must reside in Canada and the scripts must be new, original full-length plays that have not received a professional production. We are especially looking for work that would benefit from a development process. Priority will be given to playwrights residing on Vancouver Island.
Playwrights will be contacted if their script is selected. The timeline for the workshops and readings is to be announced, dependent on funding. There is no fee for submitting or for taking part.
Emerging Voices supports the Equity in Theatre Initiative, Playwrights Guild of Canada which promotes gender equality and diversity in theatre.
The deadline for submissions is September 15th
