Open Pit
is seeking emerging playwrights for a new production: One Act; 1 Hour.
In One Act; 1 Hour, five playwrights from across Canada will gather online via Google Docs to write a one act play in 30 minutes. Each playwright is allowed to ask the audience one question which will be used to form the story of the play. The result of their work will then be performed by three actors. One Act; 1 Hour will be shown during Nakai Theatre’s Homegrown Theatre Festival from May 8 - 13.
Open Pit is looking for emerging playwrights from across Canada that would be interested in the challenge of writing a collaborative play in only thirty minutes. Your commitment would include:
- 30 minutes of writing one evening between May 8 - 13 (schedule to be determined).
- Collaborating with four other playwrights to create a one act play.
- Possible Skype interviews during this time.
If you are interested please contact Sam Bergmann-Good as soon as possible at: sam@openp.it
