DESCRIPTIONFestival Theme: "What does it mean to be human as could only be told by you?"
We invite digital submissions of new 60–75 minute plays designed for intimate production to be performed during our festival from July 16th - Aug 9th. Scripts should feature a cast of no more than five actors and be adaptable to minimal technical and design elements, including simple lighting and sound cues and a sparse set (one table and two chairs). One Night Series Productions will be for one night only during the course of the festival.
One Night Series productions slots cost $500 each made payable to Diamond Mesh Inc. upon acceptance into the festival. In exchange, Artists will receive a performance slot for their piece as well as 2 hours of rehearsal time in venue (Paradise Factory) and an additional 2 hours of rehearsal time at a Manhattan based studio in the weekends leading up to the festival.
Diamond Mesh will additionally provide front of house, concessions, and a board op for each production. All remaining production will be handled by the artist, and the artist will, in exchange keep 100% of the gross from their 1 night run.
We will also have a few pieces selected for our 'Signature Series'. These shows will be offered a 3-performance slot for an increased performance fee and increased rehearsal time.
