Highwire Theatre Testing The Line New Play competition

Highwire Theatre is now accepting submissions for their 2008 Testing the Line Competition. All entries will be read and reviewed by a panel of NYC theater professionals (playwrights, directors, actors, etc.) Finalists will have a workshop and staged reading with professional actors and directors in Summer 2008. The winner will receive $300 and a fully-mounted production as part of Highwire's season. Entries must be full-length, straight plays. One-Acts, musicals and adaptations will not be accepted. Scripts must be unpublished and original with no production history; workshops and readings are allowed. Highwire Theatre is committed to providing our audience with the context and inspiration to reevaluate and develop new perspectives on assumed truths of the human experience. To that end, we dedicate each season to the exploration of one theme across genre, period, and structure. And through this program, we hope to introduce emerging artists to new audiences and friends.
