Call for submissions: directors wanted for InspiraTO Festival

Alumnae Theatre's InspiraTO Festival has put out a call for submissions for directors interested in taking the reins with one of their 18 ten-minute plays that will be performed.

They have posted the pdf files for all 18 short plays on their website. They've included the synopses and the number of actors/actresses each will require. Of the eighteen plays, six are comedies, five are dramas and seven are absurd/fantasy scripts.

You may request up to four plays, but can only be selected for one. The deadline for submissions is February 15.

The 7th Annual InspiraTO Festival will take place from June 1-10, 2012 at the Alumnae Theatre, Mainstage.
