NW14 Informational Meeting

The Lincoln High School Drama Department presents

The 14th Annual New Works Festival:

Eye to Eye

directed by Matthew B. Zrebski

opening in May, 2018

The core question at the heart of this festival is:  In a divided 21^st Century America, will we ever be able to find common ground, despite rarely seeing eye to eye?

THE PLAYS

The festival will feature 6 playwrights.  There will be 5 scripted works, all based on controversial and divisive topics as well as a 6^th piece that will be devised - a collaborative effort involving the director, playwright and actors. 

ROLES

The festival has 16 roles available for men and 16 roles available for women.  It is possible all roles will be cast separately or that some actors will double. 

No roles will be specific to race or ethnic background; everyone should audition who wants to! 

Though gender is specified in the writing prompts, please know that we intend to be fully inclusive in casting for any actors who do not identify as either male or female.  We are open and more than happy to cast trans-actors who fall anywhere on the gender spectrum.

INFORMATIONAL MEETING

A meeting will be held after school in the auditorium at 3:30p on Thursday, June 8^th for all interested writers, actors and technicians who simply want more information and to ask questions.  The different issues that will prompt the scripted work will be announced at that time, and writing applications will go live that day both in hard copy and electronically.
