Centre Stage will present its 8th annual New Play Festival September 20-24, 2010 featuring the works of four finalists selected from submissions of playwrights. These plays will be presented in staged readings that begin each evening at 7 p.m. and are free and open to the public.
Each performance will be followed by an in-depth discussion of the work, led by Festival Chairman, Dr. Brian Haimbach and a guest playwright-in-residence. On the fifth evening of the Festival, Centre Stage will present the latest work in development by the playwright-in-residence, followed by a discussion of that work with the playwright.
Submission guidelines
Each year, Centre Stage is proud to present its New Play Festival. Four to five finalists will be selected from submitted plays which meet the criteria outlined below. These selected plays will then be presented in a readers' theatre format which will be open to the public. Audience feedback is encouraged. The play selected as the most outstanding will receive a production at our theatre - most likely to be scheduled for the following season.
