We Want Your Words!
The Renaissance Guild
(website)
Audition Dates: Deadline for
Submission: August 15th, 2008 (for Vol.XII - plays received
after August 15th will be considered for future productions)
The Renaissance Guild will be taking script submissions for
its next new play festival, the ActOne Series Vol.XII, to be
presented October 17th & 18th. Our theme for this ActOne is
CRIMINAL MINDS - we are interested in featuring scripts that
illuminate criminal behavior (ex: illegal, scandalous,
senseless, villainous, unfair, wicked, etc). The AOS was
developed to provide a venue and a voice to writers. Once
the pieces are selected, playwrights will have the
opportunity to work with a dramaturg to hone their script
before it goes into production, and to observe some of the
rehearsals. The process culminates in two evenings of
performances, when the writers get the opportunity to see
their works come to life, local actors show their stuff on
stage and the San Antonio community gets the opportunity to
celebrate the work of their neighbors, friends and promising
new theatre voices.
Guidelines: We are looking for unpublished works that have
not been previously performed in the Southwest Region, 5 to
30 minutes in length (can be an excerpt from a longer
piece), with a maximum of 6 characters, and little or no
technical requirements. For more information on Renaissance
Guild’s mission statement, check out our website. Due to the
large number of submissions, you will only receive a
response if your script is chosen.
Send submissions:
Via Email as either a MSWord or Adobe document to
actoneseries@therenaissanceguild.org Or by mail to:
