Nat'l Music Theater Conference Seeks Final Submissions for 2012 Conference

The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center is in its final week of open submission for projects to be developed during the 2012 National Music Theater Conference. Music theater works from applicants will be accepted with postmarks through Thursday, December 1st, 2011.

The National Music Theater Conference, led by Artistic Director Paulette Haupt, supports the development of all styles and genres of music theater, including operas and hybrid works. Both original and adapted works are accepted; written rights to any material not in the public domain must be included with application and materials submitted. Projects that have been produced by a professional company must receive approval before applying.

The submission fee is $35 dollars and covers the costs of the process. The authors of selected works will be awarded a two week residency during June or July 2012, including a rehearsal process, and four script-in-hand public readings.

We invite you to participate in a Q&A today Tuesday, November 29 at 6pm EST. Literary Manager Martin Kettling will be taking questions about the conference and the application process on the O'Neill's Facebook page. Please join the discussion!
