Call for Women Playwrights for Powerstories Voices of Women Festival

2105 W Kennedy Blvd, Tampa FL

Description

In collaboration with Thrϋ-Line Theatrical Production Company, Powerstories Theatre is debuting the Voices of Women Theatre Festival in October 2021. Powerstories is currently seeking submissions from female playwrights around the world of any age and level of experience. The submission deadline is July 15, 2021. Ten selected productions will be performed live in the theatre and live-streamed worldwide or produced virtually online in the Festival's debut on October 6-17, 2021. In a world dominated by male creation where statistics show that men write 80 percent of produced plays, the theatre's goal is to amplify and recognize the voices of female playwrights. Submissions to Voices of Women Theatre Festival may be short works or full-length plays, a staged reading, or fully-produced production. Powerstories' objective is to give women a stage and celebrate the contributions of female writers with two weekends of highlighting eye-opening, conversation-starting, humorous, heartbreaking, real-life, and fictionalized plays and musicals. Registration cost for the Voices of Truth Festival is $20 per submission. Complete details and registration form are available online.
