> FEMFEST 2004: A Festival of One-Act Plays by Women
>
> Sarasvàti Productions is proud to announce that their second FemFest will
take place in the fall of 2004.  The festival will run from October 22-30th
in Winnipeg.  The inaugural FemFest took place in June 2003 and featured the
presentation of six one-act plays by Canadian women playwrights, a staged
reading of a new play in development and several workshops.  We will be
building on the success of the initial festival and plan to mix original
productions with presentations of staged work by other companies.  We are
currently seeking submissions of scripts, proposals of work in progress, or
finished productions ready for presentation.  Subject matter is wide open,
as long as the piece is written by a Canadian female playwright and has a
running time of no more than one hour.  Technical and set requirements must
be minimal due to the festival nature of the project.  A reading committee
will assess submissions for their individual quality and in order to program
a balanced festival.  Each selected playwright will be paid an honorarium
and offered the opportunity to work with a dramaturge in order to further
develop the script.
