NOW SEEKING PLAY SUBMISSIONS: SEVEN.11 (2007)!

Seeking plays for the Seven.11 Convenience Theatre series, which takes seven, 11-minute plays, all set in a convenience store, and weaves them together to present an evening of entertaining quickies for all to enjoy.

All scripts must be 11 pages or less, in proper play format, with a max of three actors (role-doubling, however, is permitted) and set in a convenience store. No other requirements than to write something that challenges, defies, or just tells a darn good story. Each play should be able to stand alone; many of the plays from our previous seven.11's have had independent productions around the country. Last year 3 of the Seven.11 plays were nominated for the NYIT Awards for Best Short Play.

Some of the popular series stories included teen nerd club drama, Holi color antics, and an original pop musical that left us wondering 'Who killed Mr. Naidu first?".

Email submissions to: convenience@desipina.org

Or mail your play to:

Desipina & Co
520 8th Avenue
Suite 318
New York, NY 10018

Deadline: December 15, 2006 (must be received by, not postmarked!)

A full production in downtown NYC, scheduled for April 2007, and a modest, honorary stipend will be provided for chosen plays. Plus, an opportunity to learn more about the workshopping process, from start to final product! For further details on last year's production, visit: www.desipina.org.
