ITHACA, NY: Aspiring writers who are in the 7-12th grade, interested in theater and looking for a career building experience have an opportunity to qualify for the Kitchen Theatre Company's KITCHEN SINK series event Teen Extreme Playwriting Contest & Marathon.
Based on three-page original writing samples, four young playwrights will be selected to participate in the Kitchen's Teen Extreme Playwriting Marathon, an exciting "pressure-cooker" rehearsal-to-performance process. From the time the secret topic and cast members are announced, winning playwrights will have four days to write and rehearse their 10-minute plays. Their plays will then be produced with four public performances on February 26 & 27.
Submission deadline EXTENDED to January 25. More info, guidelines and submission forms at kitchentheatre.org, ithacajournal.com or 607. 272-0403.
The vitality of the theater depends on a community of working theatre artists: writers, actors and designers. The KITCHEN SINK series provides a venue for emerging regional theater artists to develop work through staged readings and informal performances of works-in-progress. This season, the we have expanded the series with three cornerstone events (48-Hour Playwriting Marathon, Teen Extreme Playwriting Contest & Marathon, New Play Festival) in addition to occasional Monday/Tuesday and late-night performances.
