FUSION Theatre Company announces our fourth annual
Ten Minute New Play Festival
The Seven: New Works Fest
June 18-21, 2009

Seven new ten minute plays.
Seven different directors.
And a stellar ensemble cast of New Mexico’s finest actors.

Last Summer FUSION presented our 3rd Annual New Ten Minute Play Festival, The Seven: Something Left Unsaid. An international call for entries introduced New Mexico audiences to world premieres of works chosen from hundreds of submissions from up and coming playwrights drawn from around the world. To view our previous "Seven" productions, click here.

This summer, we’re at it again.

Our audience has spoken: on-line voting by FUSION Theatre Company patrons has produced this year’s theme: That One Thing.

Again this year, theatre management has agreed to provide a Jury Prize: a flight to lovely Albuquerque, NM to see your professionally produced play! (Jury comprised of nationally prominent theatre professionals and FUSION's own literary staff.)

Words of Wisdom from Last Year's Winner

Listen to an interview with Jen Silverman (conducted by KSJE-FM's Connie Gotsch), who managed to place two works in 2008's "The Seven," including the Jury and the Bosser Audience Favorite prizes.

GUIDELINES FOR PLAY SUBMISSION
* Each script must be no more than ten pages long.
* Plays should be inspired by the theme That One Thing.
* Each playwright may submit up to two scripts.
* Previously submitted plays, plays that have received production and any unsolicited longer one-act or full-length plays are not accepted for consideration in The Seven.
* Each manuscript must include a title page with name, address, phone number, and e-mail.

The preferred way to get ‘em to us is via e-submission. We require a nominal $5 fee to offset print and distribution costs, which you can pay conveniently on-line here.

  • To begin, click on the "Add to Cart" button below, which will place the required $5 fee in your Shopping Cart;
  • Then, after you pay via credit card or PayPal, the displayed receipt will include a WWW address that allows you to upload your script. The receipt will also be Emailed to you automatically. Copy and paste this address into your web browser for a page that will permit you to upload your script(s).
  • If this is your first time visiting our ticketing site, you'll be asked to create a simple account that protects your transaction and allows us to contact you if something goes awry. All patron and artist information, including email addresses, are kept strictly confidential: FUSION never shares any information with any other organizations.

To begin the e-submission, click here: [closed for the season! submissions re-open in February, 2010.]

Alternatively, if this all sounds too high-tech or Big Brotherish to you, or if you don't want to part with the $5, you may mail one copy each of up to two different submissions to:

FUSION Theatre Company
Attn: The Seven
700 1st Street NW
Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102

(There is no submission fee with this option.)

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2009!
[NOTE: e-submissions have been extended to midnight, Sunday, May 3, 2009.]
Whether submitted electronically by midnight or postmarked for snail mail, that's the firm deadline.

Entries will be acknowledged by e-mail once they have been received by our literary manager. All playwrights will be informed of the FUSION’s finalist selection no later than May 8; winners will be announced by May 15th.

Staffing constraints prohibit our returning any submissions. The volume of scripts submitted hampers our ability to comment individually on each work; therefore we do not offer criticism.

Questions: use our contact form, attn: The Seven.



Barry Gaines, review of the inaugural The Seven, Albuquerque Journal :
"The Fusion Theatre Company's 10-minute plays selected from more than 350 submissions nationwide—[were] an intriguing theatrical smorgasbord. This annual competition is a welcome opportunity to see the latest work of emerging playwrights."



You bet! I'd like to be reminded of coming events!
