Articulate Theatre Calls for 'TALES IN TIME' Folklore Play Submissions

Articulate Theatre Company has announced a call for submissions to the 4th installment of its signature series, Articulating the Arts: Tales in Time.

Articulating the Arts brings together artists with unique works of art from other disciplines to use as a springboard and source of inspiration for new theatre works. "Our first installment" focused on playwrights taking "one image" and giving us "A Thousand Words." The second one took the images "Off The Wall" and put them on the stage! Our third AtA, Articulate moved from the visual arts to the musical arts, specifically folk music, with "Folk City Scenes."

Now the company is taking a look at the intersection of story telling - where oral traditions meet the written word -
global folklore!

Playwrights are encouraged to compose plays in reaction to the specific stories selected and shown on our webpage. Plays can be comedic, dramatic, surreal, historic, political, farce, etc. They can be pro-folklore, or against it, or both. Plays do not have to recreate the story, but there should be creative connective tissue between the story and the play. (e.g., just because there's a tree in the story doesn't mean there has to be a tree in the play; but if the story is about a person's love of pop-rocks, a play about the angst of filling pot holes for a living would be a stretch.) The strength of the connection between the story and the play will be one of the criteria used to select plays for performance.

There is no fee for submission. Deadline is February 5th, 2017 - midnight. For more information, parameters and guidelines, see www.articulatetheatre.com/ata4---tales-in-time.html.
