The Chirp: November Submission Opportunities

Sanguine Theatre Company
Deadline: November 15th
Project Playwright is a result of Sanguine’s love for playwrights and new works. Once all submissions have been read, a panel will select a small number of finalists. Sanguine Theatre Company will produce a festival evening of staged readings in New York City with excerpts from the finalists' scripts. Excerpts will be determined by Sanguine's team in collaboration with the playwrights. On the evening of the Festival, a grand prize winner will be chosen by the audience and have his or her play fully produced in a New York City theatre as a part of Sanguine's season, along with opportunities to workshop his or her script. A stipend will be provided to the playwright for their production.

Mesa Refuge
Deadline: December 1st
The Mesa Refuge is located near the Pacific Ocean in Point Reyes Station, California, an hour north of San Francisco. It sits beside the San Andreas Fault, literally on the edges between land and water, metropolis and wildness, busyness and quiet. Our residents are mostly focused on “ideas at the edge” of nature, human economy, and social equity. Here writers enjoy time and space to connect with their muses and a supportive community, before going back into the world.
We welcome both experienced and emerging writers and creatives who are addressing the pressing issues of our time. It is our priority to support writers focusing on these areas we value: nature, the human economy and social equity.
Through public conversations and events, Mesa Refuge connects our leading-edge alumni from around the nation with West Marin, contributing to a rich tapestry of conversation that is helping to change our world.
