Under Construction-Stay tuned!
Theater for the New City is now accepting festival applications.
Dream Up Festival," a festival of new works. Dream Up Festival 2015 Opens on August 30. Closes September 20. 2015 will mark our 6th Season. We are coming back bigger and better. Join Us.
NOW ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS
All works must be unproduced in New York City, but a previous reading or workshop will not be a disqualification. To qualify for the festival, all works by US and international artists must be World or NYC premieres and works by US artists must be at least a NYC premiere. Translations and new adaptations of known material will be acceptable if they have no history of a full production in the past.
The festival is available to both performance groups and individuals. Plays, dance theater, solo works
and interdisciplinary material will all be welcome so long as they can co-exist in repertory with other
productions in the festival lineup. Technical requirements and use of production effects will need to be
limited. Scenic elements are welcome but one or more of these elements will have to be used in an
inventive way.
ABOUT DREAM UP – TNC’s Summer Showcase
The motto of the festival is "Dream Up: Invent, Concoct." The festival is dedicated to new works.
The question of the artist's vision to free or attack the material will be asked in each application. The
festival does not want traditional theater which is presented in a traditional way. Theater for the New
City wants to use this festival as a way to push ideas to the forefront with the hope of revealing roads
less traveled or undiscovered. Presentation of a straightforward play must be imaginative in some way.
