The Downtown Urban Theater Festival Now Accepting Applications For 8th Season

The Downtown Urban Theater Festival (DUTF) is currently accepting submissions for its eighth season, scheduled for April 19th through May 2nd at the Theater for a New City, located in the Lower East Side of New York City. DUTF, presented by Creative Ammo Inc., is a two-week celebration of urban theatrical expression by a cross-section of playwrights. This annual event focuses on theatrical works that resonate with the essence of urban life and speaks to a whole new generation whose lives defy categorizing along conventional lines.

For DUTF 2010, we plan to accept 12 theatrical works; six full-length productions (60-90 minutes) and six shorts (30-45 minutes). Each work is performed only once during the festival. Three of the outstanding works produced during the festival will receive $1,000 awards in The categories of Best Play, Best Short and Audience.
