FW: CrossCurrents reminder

REMINDER NOTICE 
Only six weeks left to submit to FACTORY THEATRE's CrossCurrents FESTIVAL!

Factory Theatre is soliciting new stageplays by writers of colour for our
third annual CrossCurrents Ð a new play festival devoted to showcasing and
developing works whose themes involve the intersection of different
cultures. 

In its first two years, CrossCurrents has been a tremendous success.  Two of
the mainstage productions in our 2003/04 season, Hiro Kanagawa's Tiger of
Malaya and Carmen Aguirre's The Refugee Hotel, were first showcased in
CrossCurrents.  Writers who submitted to CrossCurrents have also received
commissions, workshops, and invitations to join the Factory Theatre
Playwrights' Lab. 

This year's CrossCurrents Festival will take place in Factory's Studio
Theatre from March 8 ­ 20, 2004.  Each selected play will receive
dramaturgical support, a workshop, and a public reading.  Out of town
playwrights will receive travel expenses and per diem.  To be eligible,
playwrights must be available to attend the festival.

CrossCurrents is open to writers from across the country.  We are
particularly looking for writers from diverse communities whose work
examines and questions old ideas of culture in light of the dynamic changes
around us today; and for stories in which cultures clash, cross, or come
together.  Full-length plays in all stages of development are preferred,
although shorter plays will also be considered.  Additionally we encourage
writers now working in other forms (prose, poetry, film, etc.) who are
interested in exploring the challenge of playwriting to submit plays or
works-in-progress. 

Please send 

- a completed script or script excerpt for work-in-progress
- a letter outlining your play's developmental history
- a self-addressed stamped envelope if you want your material returned.
