The styles and backgrounds of successful applicants are wildly eclectic; their concerns are varied. They all, however, have three things in common: talent, commitment, and the desire to benefit from the company of other writers.
The application and guidelines can be downloaded from our website, http://www.newdramatists.org. (Please note: applications are accepted between July 15 and September 15, 2007-- this is NOT a post-mark deadline).

We can recycle your scripts, or should you wish to pick them up at the completion of the process, please indicate that on your application. Thank you kindly.
ACCEPTABLE SCRIPTS INCLUDE:
Full-length plays; Books to musicals (you may also submit music in the form of tape or CD for the committee’s consideration, but MAY NOT submit music in place of the book); Two or more One Act plays that, when combined, form a full-length evening of theater – these plays will equal one full-length script and thus equal one of the two full-length submissions required; Any of the above written with a collaborator, IF and only IF the collaborators are applying for membership as a team, and will work as a team throughout their seven-year New Dramatists membership.
ADMISSIONS FORUM: Also, because our open forum was such a success last year, we’re doing it again! On Thursday, July 5th from 4-5:30 pm, New Dramatists (424 West 44th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues) will hold an Admissions information meeting for people who are considering applying.

CURTAIN CALL, INC. (CT)
Date: 9-22-07 (Postmarked by)
Material: New Musicals that dramatize an aspect of the experience of Black Americans
Curtain Call, Inc., Fairfield County, Connecticut’s premiere community-based theatre, announces the establishment of what the organization hopes will become an annual award to celebrate diversity in the musical theater.
The American Harmony Prize: The goal of the American Harmony Prize is to showcase new works of musical theater that explore our country’s many ethnic, religious and gender identifications. To do so, the prize will be awarded each year to the writers of a new musical that delves into a different specific segment of American society.
The inaugural American Harmony Prize (the funding of which was made possible by the Puffin Foundation) will showcase a new musical that dramatizes an aspect of the experience of Black Americans. In addition to a cash award of $250.00, a condensed version of the winning musical (approximately one hour in length) will be performed as a part of Curtain Call’s series of new musicals in concert. The concert reading will take place at the Ethel and Sidney Kweskin Theater in Stamford, Connecticut, in February of 2008.
Musical theater writers interested in having their work considered for the American Harmony Prize should submit a plot synopsis of no more than 800 words (or roughly two pages), the first 10 pages of the libretto (with all dialogue, lyrics and stage directions included), a CD that demonstrates as much of the musical’s score as has been recorded to date (it needn’t be of studio quality) and one sample of the sheet music for a song from the show’s piano / vocal score. A “short list” of applicants will be contacted after the first round of judging and asked to submit a full libretto and additional samples of the piano / vocal score for the final consideration. There is no submission / reading fee. Applicants that wish to have their materials returned should include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
In order to qualify for consideration, a musical cannot have been professionally produced (Equity Dinner, LORT, Production, Special Production, SPT, Stock, etc…) or published, but it may have been performed in readings, concerts, workshops and non-professional productions.
Submissions will be accepted via mail from Monday, August 6, 2007 until Saturday, September 22, 2007 . Submissions postmarked after Saturday, September 22, 2007, will not be eligible for consideration. We are not able to receive electronic submissions at this time.
Submissions should be mailed to: Curtain Call, Inc., 1349 Newfield Avenue, Stamford, CT 06905, Att. American Harmony Prize .
Short-listed applicants will be asked to submit additional materials after Monday, October 1, 2007. Additional materials postmarked after Saturday, October 13, 2007, will no longer be eligible for final consideration.
The winner of the American Harmony Prize 2008 will be announced Friday, December 12, 2007, on the theater’s website: curtaincallinc.com.
Founded in 1990 in association with The Stamford Community Arts Council, Curtain Call moved to our present location in the Sterling Farms Theatre Complex in 1992 -- in cooperation with the City of Stamford. Our Offices and theatres are located on the Sterling Farms complex at 1349 Newfield Avenue, Stamford, CT 06905. Office hours are from 10:00 to 6:00 Monday through Friday. The goal of Curtain Call, Inc. is to provide an outlet for artistic expression for lower Fairfield County while entertaining the general public, and to provide a safe and nurturing environment for learning.

HAWTHORNUCOPIA: JANUARY 2008 (NY)
Date: 9-30-07
Material: 10-min. plays, One-acts, or full length performances in relation to Nathanial Hawthorn
Hawthornicopia, scheduled for January 15th through January 28th, 2008, is a collection of new plays to celebrate the spirit of Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Submissions will be considered for co-production in the festival, and are welcome from individual artists and performance companies alike. Co-producers will take responsibility for conceiving and creating their contribution (i.e. artistic work) to the festival, with use of Metropolitan’s space and physical resources. Metropolitan will coordinate and promote the festival as a part of its 16th Season: “Virtue.” We publicize the festival, though if the company/artist wish to further publicize their individual contribution, then they incur additional costs. We do not charge rent for the space, and we offer the space for rehearsals (shared among the many participants as equitably/appropriately as we can), but additional rehearsal space rental would mean additional cost to the participant. In like manner, any special properties or set pieces that we do not have on site would also create costs.... On the other hand, we have insurance for the artists and audience. We take care of box office operations and basic lighting plot.
Submissions may be ten-minute plays, one-acts, or full length performances. There are no restrictions concerning style. Adaptations, biographies, fantasies, treatises will all be considered. Selection by Metropolitan Playhouse will be based on artistic quality, feasibility of production, and suitability for the venue.
Guidelines: Submissions will be accepted by e-mail or snail mail, and must include:
1. Cover sheet with
* Name of Company/Artist taking responsibility for producing the work
* Project Title
