Playwrights, actors, and/or directors will apply by December 09 and will receive an email on December 10 letting them know if they’ve been selected to participate. For this event, we will only be accepting non-union actors in order to respect union rules and regulations.
On December 16th from 7:00pm - 9:00pm CT, all selected artists will come together in a Zoom call to meet everyone. Playwrights will be assigned a director, and each creative team will be assigned 2-3 actors. Teams will be sent into breakout rooms so the playwrights can interview their cast.
Using their discussions as inspiration and three elements provided by Chicago Dramatists, playwrights will be tasked with writing a 10 Minute play, that must be turned in no later than December 17th at 5:00pm CT. It is up to individual casts to determine when they will rehearse together on December 17th.
On December 18th at 10:00am CT, we will all reconvene for tech rehearsal with the final show going up on our Twitch channel at 2:00pm CT.
