CPT accepting submissions for Little Box 2008
Cleveland Public Theatre is proud to announce that submissions are now being accepted for Little Box. Now in its second season, Little Box is designed to help directors and writers in developing new work, by providing a forum for full length readings of new plays.
Little Box is modeled on CPT’s successful Big [BOX] series. As with Big [BOX], we are seeking artists who have the ability to carry a project through to production, but Little Box is on a smaller scale. Little Box offers an opportunity to develop and perform a full length staged reading in the James Levin Theatre for one night.
Little Box will run Thursday evening through Sunday afternoons from October 23 - November 2, 2008.
The deadline for submissions is September 12, 2008. Continue reading for more information and application materials.
