The Ghostlight Stage Company Seeks BIPOC Playwright Submissions

TGSC_logoThe Ghostlight Stage Company will be producing 2 original one act plays on October 14, 2023 as part of a staged reading event. This event will be presented at ARCO in Price Hill in their top floor recital hall venue. The plays will be put on in staged reading format with a short one week rehearsal process that concludes with a performance for the public at the end of the week. In addition, all plays will be assigned 4 designers who will come up with design concepts for the plays and a director who will come up with a full vision for the piece, as if they were being fully produced. These design/director visions will be shared with the audience in the form of lobby displays and slideshow presentations that are shown behind the actors during the staged reading performance to give the audience a better idea of what the production would look like on a full scale. The event will “pull back the curtain” for audiences to show them what all goes into the process of putting on a full scale piece of theater, while also giving playwrights the valuable experience of having a full team of designers and actors explore their piece without it being fully produced yet. The Ghostlight has plans to produce at least one of the selected plays next year with a full production run.

Currently seeking: One Act Play Submissions of 45 minutes to 1 hour in length by Cincinnati-based Playwrights. Play submissions with cast sizes of 2-4 are preferred and the subject matter can be about whatever the playwright chooses. We strongly encourage BIPOC playwrights to submit their work, as we seek to uplift the voices of underrepresented artists whose work is often underproduced. We echo the sentiments of the artists in this piece with the LA Times: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2020-10-14/40-black-playwrights-theater-racism.

Required time commitment: Playwrights will be needed on the day of the event (October 14) and for auditions (TBD in August). Additionally, they will be required to attend all rehearsals of their piece which will occur in the week leading up to the event. There will be 3 rehearsals that are 4 hours in length each. The total time needed for this entire project comes out to about 20 hours.

Pay Rate: $300 stipend

TO APPLY: Reach out to The Ghostlight’s Theatre Director, Aiden Dalton with a brief email introduction, your one act play(s) and any other supporting materials at: aiden@theghostlightstageco.com

Additionally, there will be a Q&A session at the end of the workshop where Eliana will answer questions about her design process, her time on Next in Fashion, and more! This workshop is in collaboration with Arts@ARCO and is FREE to the public. Anyone is welcome to join and make it a family outing, but the main curriculum is recommended for students 15-19.
