NW16: Stage Manage?

NW16:  Monumental

Want to stage manage? 

Please send me an email explaining why you think you are right and ready for the job!  I am looking for:

1 Lead Stage Manger

2 Assistant Stage Managers

It is also possible, I'll look at other scenarios - SM "teams" where all have equal titles, but slightly different jobs.

Please only apply if you are interested in any job. I’m not interested in an applicant who would “only want lead” or “only want assistant” or "only want to be on a defined team". The jobs are similar and require strong levels of commitment.  

Do not apply until you have looked at your calendar and have determined that you can fully commit.   (see below) 

Do know that I allow SMs to take days off. Part of having a multi-person team is to better allow for school/show/life balance. That said, it is still a large time commitment.

Once I receive emails and consult with Mr. Peerenboom, I will either ask for phone interviews or make offers outright.

NW16: Writers Announced!

The applications were terrific this season and the process quite competitive. But...the four writers selected were on every single panelists' "top list".  It's going to be a terrific festival!

Congratulations!

Play #1 – by Natalia Bermudez - 30 minutes – 5-7 characters

TIME:  Winter 2019

A large monument appears, fully erected - and with no explanation - in the parking lot of a high school.  Why is it there?  What does it mean?  Should it be removed?  Can it be removed?  How does this mystery affect the students?

Play #2 – by Tavie Kittredge - 30 minutes – 5-7 characters

TIME:  Winter 2119

The large monument is the subject of a 100-year anniversary event being planned by 5 teenagers in a youth military unit whose primary job is to protect the monument.  Why must it be protected?  Why is it being celebrated?  Why has it never been removed?  What would happen if someone tried to destroy it now?

Play #3 – by Noah Clark - 45 minutes – 5-7 characters

TIME:  Winter 2219

The large monument is the central meeting place and primary religious symbol in a small community.  It is about to be the high holiday.  In the middle of the night, 5 teenagers gather, breaking a sacred vow.  Why must they take this risk?  What do they have to gain?  What might the world have to lose if they commit such a grave sin?

Play #4 – by Zachary Goldsmith - 15 minutes – 5 characters

TIME:  Winter 2017

5 teenagers deliver dueling monologues over the course of 5 segments that weave throughout the festival. These monologues are all confessions. To what do they confess?  Do they know who will build the monument? What are they setting in motion?  What do they regret?  What must they instigate?

NW16 Applications Are In!

The application process for NW16 has closed.  We had 15 writers submit this season!  If you submitted, you should have now received a reply via email  If you did not received a reply, it means your submission did not go through.  Please email immediately if this is the case, and we can investigate if you will still be considered eligible.
