Call for Submissions: Mysterious Entity Theatre presents a call for proposals in Peterborough. We are thrilled to announce the fourth call for submissions to Playpen — our new script development program. We are currently looking for original unpublished scripts, or works-in-progress, that have not been previously produced. Scripts that have been submitted to previous Playpen calls are not eligible. Writers must have a STRONG connection to our region. Please specify your local connection in a cover letter to be included with your submission. We are looking for work that expresses or explores marginalized voices and stories. Past original work developed by Mysterious Entity has tackled issues such as mental health, sexuality, gender and race. We are committed to presenting work with an inherent political and social conscience. If you think that your work fits our mandate, this is an opportunity to have one of Peterborough’s leading professional theatre companies contribute to the exploration and further development of your script. One submission per artist please. For more information and to submit work that has never been produced or published, please send a synopsis along with a cover letter and your resume with a script sample (20 page max) to m.entity@gmail.com.

Deadline: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 5 PM
