Musical Theatre Festival Call for Submissions

"WARNING: Not For Broadway" is an annual festival of new musical theater and opera works -in-progress. Richard S. Bach, a Dixon Place board member, initiated the festival in 2001 to open doors to emerging and established musical theatre creators trying out unconventional pieces. "WARNING: Not for Broadway" seeks new and unusual works that combine story with song; whether the story is non-linear, from a rarely heard voice, about a controversial subject, or the song is all electronica, hip-hop, or even barber-shop quartet.

Submissions will be accepted until July 12, 2005 for the upcoming fall festival in late September, early October. The length of the work can vary anywhere from ten minutes to one hour, and we encourage you to submit works-in-progress, or newly completed work that has not yet been produced. Please include in your submission: a cover letter describing your piece; length of work; technical requirements; CD, video, or link to website with audio or video of the piece itself or recent original work (if available); and short bios for you and collaborators.
