 CALL FOR SCRIPTS TORONTO '99 NEW PLAY
 DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP

 ATHE's Playwrights Program is seeking new, short plays for its tenth
 New Play Development Workskhop at the ATHE '99 Conference in Toronto, July
28-31, 1999.

The New Play Development Workshop is designed primarily to serve playwrights
who are members of ATHE. However, scripts will also be accepted from
professional playwrights who are not from the academic community, and from
advanced playwrighting students.

 Playwrights are invited to submit plays ranging in length from 4-10 minutes;
there is no restriction on subject matter, style, or intended audience.  Six
to seven scripts will be selected by jury.   Each playwright will be assigned
a director, a dramaturg, and
 a group of actors; these creative teams will work on the scripts throughout
the four-day conference for an average of two to three hours per day
(attendance at the rest of the ATHE conference is possible and encouraged.)
  The Workshop will culminate in a public, script-in-hand reading of the play
in a SHOWCASE OF SCRIPTS on Saturday afternoon.

 The New Play Development Workshop affords playwrights the opportunity to work
on their scripts with artists from all over the United States and Canada who
are experienced in dealing with original material, and to have their work
presented at the largest academic theatre conference in the world.  In past
years, plays that have gone through this process have achieved a high rate
ofsuccess in securing subsequent productions and publication.
Script submissions should include four copies of the script, along with a
cover letter which indicates that playwright's willingness to   attend all
sessions of the workshop, from Wednesday morning, July 28 through Saturday
afternoon, July 31;  the letter should also include the playwright's  mailing
address and telephone/fax/email information.

Only one submission per playwright will be accepted.  Scripts not accompanied
by a self addressed, stamped envelope will not be returned.  To be considered,
scripts must be RECEIVED by February 1, 1999; late entries will not be read.

 Scripts should be sent to David Catanzarite, Towson University Theatre Arts,
8000 York Road, Towson, Maryland 21252-0001.

For additional information,
phone 410.830-5993.  Fax 410 830-3914;
