Call for Submissions—Scripts or poems for short performances
Deadline: Drafts due June 10, 2023

Seeking scripts for 5-10 minute performances, or poems for 2-3 minute performances, as part of show planned for November, 2023 at the Sea of Glass in downtown Tucson. The show is being facilitated by The Carport Theater, a community organization that has been presenting shows in Tucson since 2014.

Scripts for 1 to 3 performers, and poems for dance performances on the theme “Flipping the Apocalypse.” . This could be a fresh look at impending disaster in the form of environment, public health, war, or AI calamities, cultural changes, and/or the personal, internal, experience of “the end of the world”.

NOTE: (added on June 6) Some of the submissions coming in seem to have little to do with the apocalypse.
So, as a test, I would suggest writers see if the line “we are 90 seconds from doomsday”
could fit anywhere in your script/poem!

Selected scripts will be awarded a $150 honorarium, selected poems a $75 honorarium.

Draft scripts to be submitted by June 10, and and candidates notified by June 18.
Selected scripts to be completed by July 15; with input from show review committee.

The honorariums will be paid out when writings have been completed and accepted for performance in the fall.

For a submission form, or for more information, please send an email to The Carport Theater
