Main Street Landing is announcing a yearly new works residency program. The program will take place every summer with the selection process happening in the spring.

Submission Requirements-

The MSLPAC “IT” Program is looking for work that is new, reworked, revisioned, or pushes the boundaries of theatrical performance. The purpose of this program is to take the seed of a developed and articulated concept and give it the ability to grow into a full production and performance. 

 

All submissions will require the summary of the vision of the work as well as the detailed and comprehensive outline of the production. 

 

  • Initial submission for consideration Due by May 10th:

 

 

  • Selection of the finalists will be based on the ability to meet the above requirements as well as the artistic merit of the proposed work.

 

  • Selection of finalists and notification of decision will be made on May 17th

 

  • Finalists will be invited to a 15-30 minute judged presentation on May 24th

 

  • The finalist presentations will be held in the Black Box Theater in front of an industry lead selection of judges. These presentations can include PowerPoint, performed examples of the work, or any form of articulation to exhibit the potenetal of the proposed piece. The goal of the presentation is to sell the concept and production to the judges. Access to both audio and visual will be available during these presentations, and we ask that presenters inform the MSLPAC before of any needs for their presentations.
