Virginia's Signature Theatre Announces Monday Night New Play Reading Series
Arlington, Virginia's Signature Theatre has announced the launch of SigWorks: Monday Night New Play Readings, a new initiative to highlight and support the work of DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) and regional playwrights. The series will offer opportunities for playwrights, actors, directors, designers, and patrons to explore new plays in a fun and informal environment.
The readings, which are free and open to the public, will be hosted in Ali’s Bar in Signature Theatre's Mead Lobby on the first Monday of every other month, beginning October 5 and going through August 2016. Ali's Bar will be open before and after each reading and audience members are invited to come early for drink specials.
Signature Theatre is accepting submissions for full-length plays (no musicals) from July 21-August 23. Interested playwrights should submit the following materials to submissions@sigtheatre.org: full scripts with a clear cast/character breakdown; synopsis; name, address, phone number, and email address.
Playwrights whose scripts are selected will have the opportunity to rehearse their plays with professional actors the day of the reading. Joe Calarco will serve as dramaturg for all readings.
A complete list of the selected plays will be released early this fall.
