We are happy to announce that Gi60
#NextGen is back again for a fourth round and play submissions are now
open!
The concept stays the same: one minute plays performed in succession by a group of actors, to be recorded and posted on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. So what's different? The group of actors will be entirely comprised of the Next Generation: all of them ages 11-16. For this portion we've teamed up with Acting Out!, Brooklyn's premier acting school, to bring 25 brand new one-minute plays to life. All we need are your words.
What are you waiting for? Sharpen your pencils,
fire-up the laptops, and get to writing! Full rules and conditions below:
How To Apply: Gi60 is open to everybody; all you need is an idea
and an internet connection. Since its inception in 2003, the Gi60 festival
has premiered hundreds of new pieces of work written by people of all ages and
backgrounds from around the world. So if you have and idea or something to say,
why not write a play?
