The Actual Theater Company offers opportunities for people interested in acting, directing, stage managing, writing, building sets, lights, sound, and costumes. We plan to fully involve the local arts community, local high schools, as well as undergrads, grad students, graduates and faculty from local colleges; as directors, designers, and actors.
Our goal is to give young, and untested playwrights the opportunity to follow their scripts through the production process and work closely with actors and directors on revisions. It gives actors the opportunity to work on the creation of new roles and technicians the chance to work as part of an ensemble; while giving audiences the opportunity to discover and support new talent.
Playwrights may submit two ONE-ACT plays for our spring/autumn 2007 season (30 seconds to 30 minutes in length) Keep in mind we are a small company taking the risk to produce new works; and cannot accommodate large casts or long lists of tech requirements.
WHAT KIND OF PLAYS ARE WE SEEKING?
-Works that are ambitious, fresh, playful, engaging, energizing, provocative, powerful and theatrical.
-Works that reveal unheard and vital perspectives.
-Authors with clear goals about their writing who are open to Actual Theater Company's development process

We do not shy away from strong language, violence, or mature themes. Nor do we require them, just tell us a good STORY.
