Solicitation Request for Works for DUTF

The Downtown Urban Theater Festival (DUTF) is currently accepting submissions for its sixth season, which will run from June 9 to June 21, 2008 (schedule subject to change) at the legendary Cherry Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village, NYC. DUTF, presented by Creative Ammo and produced by Arcos Entertainment, is a two-week celebration of urban theatrical expression by a cross-section of playwrights.  This annual event showcases theatrical works that echo the true spirit of urban life and speak to a whole new generation whose lives defy categorizing along conventional lines.

For DUTF 2008, we plan to accept 12 theatrical works; six full-length productions (60-90 minutes) and six shorts (30-45 minutes).  Each work is performed only once during the festival.  Three of the outstanding works produced during the festival will receive $1,000 awards in the categories of Best Play, Best Short and Audience.

To submit for DUTF 2008, please forward the following:

• Bio with contact information of the playwright - name, address, telephone number and email address; photo of playwright
• Synopsis of theatrical work
• Complete script of theatrical work
• Actor/director/crew bios, if available
• Description of stage set (if any) and production needs (i.e. sound and lighting)
