Submissions for both festivals are due by June 21 at 11:59 pm PST.
Towne Street Theatre (TST), Los Angeles's premier African American Theatre Company, is now accepting submissions for its well-known 10-minute play festival. For the first time, Towne Street is including a short film festival to complement its theatre production. Submissions for both festivals are due by June 21 at 11:59 pm PST. The theme for both plays and films is something old/something new/ something borrowed/something blue. (No wedding stories, please.) The selected plays and films will be presented to a live audience at the Stella Adler Academy of Acting and Theatre in Hollywood from October 6-22. Winning playwrights and screenwriters will receive cash prizes.
"We are fortunate to have a vast pool of talented writers here in Los Angeles and beyond who are at the foundation of our audience favorite - the 10-minute play festival, now in its 11th year," said Nancy Cheryll Davis Bellamy, TST's co-founder and artistic director. "Adding talented screenwriters to our festival is a natural next step. We invite storytellers for both stage and screen from anywhere in the world to submit."
