Call for Submissions
Infinithéâtre is looking for innovative, challenging and exciting new works by Québec playwrights. Submissions are accepted in the summer for original, unproduced English or bilingual scripts. The winning play will be selected by a jury of noted Montréal writers and theatre artists and will be awarded The Pam Dunn Prize: $1,000 plus a public reading in The Pipeline reading series. This year playwright, translator and dramaturge Maureen Labonté (head jurist for the prestigious Siminovitch Prize three years running), joins Infinithéâtre’s panel of judges for the first time.
The winning script, as well as two additional plays selected by the jury, will comprise the line-up of the 2011 reading series, The Pipeline, an annual weekend of free public play readings. Infinithéâtre takes its cue from the audience at talkbacks following each event, an open forum with the playwright and actors that provides valuable feedback for future programming and script rewrites.
Infinithéâtre’s 2009-10 season consisted entirely of “Write-On-Q” submissions!
