Future Tenant is Accepting Script Submissions for Ten-Minute Play Festival Here we go again: Ten playwrights. Ten plays. Ten minutes each. It's time to submit your ten-minute plays for the fifth installment of Future 10, the annual 10-minute play festival produced by Future Tenant, a multi-disciplinary art space located in the heart of Pittsburgh's Cultural District. The festival, featuring local theatre artists, is scheduled to run at Future Tenant in November. In order to be considered for production, scripts must be RECEIVED no later than July 15th, 2008. As a new twist for this year's festival we are seeking scripts that are somehow inspired by "life in Pittsburgh" to go along with this year's "Yinzer" theme. Other submission guidelines are as follows: Since the general rule is that one typewritten page of a play equals one minute of stage time, each play should be approximately ten pages in length. Playwrights must submit four (4) copies of his/her manuscript so that it may be distributed to the judges. Writers may submit up to two (2) scripts; however, no more than one (1) play per writer has the possibility of being selected for production. Manuscripts must be typed and stapled once in the upper left-hand corner. Include a cover page containing title, name, phone number and email address. DO NOT include your name or contact information on any portion of the actual script, as there will be an anonymous review process. One-act or full-length plays, musicals, children's plays, or plays that have been previously produced will not be considered. Scripts will not be returned, so save a copy before sending it to us! Play submissions sent by email will not be accepted. Sorry for the inconvenience. Due to the limitations of our space, please craft your work to meet the following criteria: cast size - 2 to 6; set - basic chairs and tables; costumes - try to avoid costume changes; props - limited to a few items that you or your director must provide; lighting - full, dim and blackout are the only three light changes we can offer at this time. (NOTE: We will not necessarily rule out a quality script based on a production issue, but we may ask you to make changes in order for your work to meet the limitations of our space.) Interested playwrights should submit to: Stacey Vespaziani
