Call for Submissions: Minden Fringe

Call for Submission - Minden Fringe

Monday January 26, 2009
Playwright's Minden is seeking local submissions for the 2009 Fringe Festival. We are seeking submissions in a variety of performance styles including: short plays, dance/physical theatre, storytelling, and concerts. All work must be original.

Minden Fringe is a partnership between Wintergreen Pancake Barn and Playwright's Minden, which is a project of the Haliburton County COOP.
The Festival is held at WINTERGREEN PANCAKE BARN and runs Saturday evenings in July and August. There are 2 different performances each night, following dinner. All artists have one opportunity to perform their work.

Performances must be no longer than 60 minutes. Audience capacity is 50 people. The performance space is a converted barn loft. The space is flexible in terms of shape, but is limited to the following dimensions: 10 ft. x 8 ft.

This is a fantastic opportunity for local artists to develop and present new work. Artists receive a percentage of the box office for the evening of their performance and also receive an archival copy of video footage of their performance.

Individual artists are entirely responsible for the technical elements required for their productions (i.e. lights, sound and costumes). The Artistic Director of the Fringe will be the liaison between the artists and the venue.

Submissions must include a detailed description of the nature of the performance and what it entails. If the submission is for an original one act play, please submit the script. There are only 8 performance spots available so please provide the selection committee with as much information as possible. There is a $20.00 non-refundable application fee for adult submissions and a $10.00 non-refundable application fee for students. Selected artists will be required to sign a contract with the Fringe.

The selection of performances is at the absolute discretion of Playwrights Minden. Final Decisions will be announced in mid-April.

Submissions can be emailed to: mindenfringe@gmail.com

One hardcopy of the submission MUST be mailed along with the application fee to:
