HEAR HER CALL CARIBBEAN-AMERICAN WOMEN'S THEATRE FESTIVAL
Conch Shell Productions
INFO: We are seeking innovative 10-minute plays or monologues that are aligned with Conch Shell Productions' arts for social change initiative. We are seeking plays that inspire audiences to design a new destiny and/or to consider new ways of thinking when presented with challenges.
Plays must be written in English by women of Caribbean heritage ages 18 and older who live in the Americas. Writing teams are acceptable as long as one playwright is an American woman of Caribbean descent.
The play selection process begins with an evaluation by a team of readers who will independently score each play according to their assessment of plot, character, dialogue, language, theatricality and the play’s alignment with Conch Shell Productions mission.
SUBMISSION FEE: $10. More than one entry may be submitted as a separate entry (along with the required fee), but no playwright will have more than one entry selected for production.
