BTM XVI's One-Minute Sprints

The Dramatists Guild New England and Boston Playwrights' Theatre are co-hosting the One-Minute Sprints as part of the annual Boston Theater Marathon (BTM) weekend.

What’s a One-Minute Sprint? It’s a one-minute play on the theme of “TIME IS RUNNING OUT” that will be read by four very talented Bostonian actors(two men, two women). It’s great fun and a chance to hear many different voices.

WHAT | The One-Minute Sprints (a.k.a. one-minute plays) as part of the BTM Warm-Up Laps readings at the Boston Theater Marathon
WHEN | Saturday, May 10, 2014
WHERE | The Calderwood Pavilion, Deane Rehearsal Hall (2nd Floor)

Beginning Saturday, April 5, submissions will be accepted on a first-come-first served basis for thirty (30) one-minute plays to be presented prior to the Warm-Up Laps readings at the Calderwood Theatre on Saturday, May 10, as part of the Boston Theater Marathon events. The one-minute play readings (a.k.a. The One-Minute Sprints) will be read by professional actors beginning at 11:50 a.m., 1:50 p.m., and 3:50 p.m. before each full-length play reading.

Submissions will be accepted on April 5 beginning at midnight, sent to Hortense Gerardo AND Kate Snodgrass with the subject header: ONE MINUTE SPRINTS – YOUR LAST NAME to: ONEMINUTESPRINT@gmail.com

Only one submission per playwright, please.

Afterwards, we will repair to the Beehive Bar at 6 p.m. for hors d-oeuvres courtesy of the Dramatists Guild. Please RSVP to hgerardo@dramatistsguild.com for the Beehive event so that we have enough food! For directions to The Beehive: http://www.beehiveboston.com/
