NEW YORK COMPANY SEEKS ISSUE PLAYS WITH COMEDIC EDGE
The Themantics Group, a New York-based theater, chooses a theme or an issue to examine from four different perspectives. The four plays in each season will fall into a line-up following our "wedding plan":
Something Old --a classic play by an American playwright
Something New --a New York premiere production by a new voice writing for theater today
Something Borrowed --a play by a foreign playwright
Something "Blew" --a play that had a short-lived initial run and is now ready for reworking.
By enticing patrons to see all four shows each season, the Group hopes to broaden its audiences understanding of that years theme and create discussion in the community. The companys ultimate goal is to add community and educational programming each year that deals with that seasons theme.
We always welcome submissions for new plays. Please send a treatment and synopsis to: plays@themantics.org PLEASE DO NOT SEND A FULL SCRIPT!
