By: Tyler Peterson Oct. 27, 2014
The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center is now accepting projects for development during the 2015 National Music Theater Conference. Applicants may submit music theater works for consideration through Monday, November 24th, 2014.
The National Music Theater Conference, led by founding Artistic Director Paulette Haupt, supports the development of all styles and genres of music theater, including operas and hybrid works. The authors of selected works will be awarded a two week residency during June or July 2015 with a stipend, housing, meals, and transportation to support an intensive rehearsal process and four script-in-hand public readings.Paulette Haupt is the co-founder and Artistic Director of the National Music Theater Conference since its inception in 1978. Ms. Haupt notes, "the open submission process at the O'Neill Theater Center speaks to the heart of our mission and to the artists we support at the Conference. So many of the works that have been developed here were written by creative talents who had no agent representation, and were it not for this policy we would likely have overlooked extremely deserving projects in need of development."• No agent is required.
• Both electronic and hard copy applications are accepted.
• The submission fee is $35 USD and covers the cost of the process.
