SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

To submit work for consideration as part of Tank programming, please email submissions@thetanknyc.org with the following information:

To apply: Please send a writing sample (10 pages), artist statement and resume to: cutedgecollective@gmail.com

We meet twice monthly, on the second and third Tuesdays of each month (except July and August).

On the second Tuesday of each month, we will hear the work of a single writer out loud (read by professional actors) and discuss this writer’s work. This is an in-person meeting.

GUIDELINES

PARTICIPATION

Plays are chosen for the Chain Winter One Act Festival based on originality, inspiration, and innovation. The background or experience of the playwright is taken into consideration, but submissions will be judged on the quality of the play. All themes or genres are welcome. One Act Play runtime must be no shorter than 10 minutes and no longer than 1 hour.  Shows will be performed in person.

NON UNION shows will have the ability to LIVE STREAM for at least one performance.

The most important part of your application, by far, is your work sample: one full-length play or screenplay. We have wide-ranging taste, so send the work that best reflects the current state of your writing — whatever best represents the artistic trajectory you feel you are on. In addition to the work sample, we require three letters of recommendation, a 150-word bio, a statement of intent, and official transcripts from any previous institutions where you have taken a degree.
