Athena Project’s Read & Rant program seeks to combine the sharing of theatrical work with the wider public and new play development while also fostering collaboration between playwrights and dramaturgs. Think book club for plays! Learn what makes a good script, discuss how it affects us, and explore the ways it links to the larger world. This monthly free offering to the community aims to raise awareness of the under-representation of women’s stories on stage.
Each month, they read two new and unproduced scripts and typically meet every third Monday online via Zoom to discuss the works.
A total of five plays will be selected via lottery. Two of these plays will be featured in the next Read & Rant and will receive a moderated Zoom discussion led by a dramaturg and initial public feedback. The remaining three will still have an opportunity to receive short feedback from a dramaturg via a medium of their preference (written, audio recording, short video, or live phone call).
Submission Guidelines:
- Summary of the play only
- What you hope to personally experience by participating in Read & Rant and working with a dramaturg
- Resume in PDF format
- Completion of the short Google Form Application
Deadline: 30 June, 2023 11:59 pm MDT
