THE HUDSON VALLEY WRITERS’ CENTER ANNOUNCES ITS SETTING THE STAGE NEW PLAY READING SERIES/CONTEST

Judges include TONY Winning Producer, Jane Dubin and Drama Desk Award Winning Director Josh Hecht

The Hudson Valley Writers’ Center is pleased to announce the HVWC Setting the Stage New Play Reading Series for 2011, consisting of three new works presented at the Writers’ Center in Sleepy Hollow (Westchester), NY. Full submission guidelines and deadlines are available online at www.writerscenter.org or http://bit.ly/HVWCPlayReading or by calling the Writers’ Center.  Winners will receive a cash prize of $1,000 and a public reading at the historic Writers’ Center overlooking the Hudson River.

The purpose of the series is to help develop and bring attention to great new plays. The open and blind submission policy demonstrates the Centers’ commitment to finding the best scripts by established and/or emerging writers. The reading committee consists of active NYC producers. Finalist scripts will be read and the winning selections made by Jane Dubin, (Tony Award-winning producer), Howard Meyer, (founding Artistic Director of Axial Theatre) and Josh Hecht (Drama Desk award-winning director). Each public reading will be followed by a panel discussion with the artists involved in the production to assist in the play’s further development.

Producers, theatre companies and writers are invited to submit new works that are commercial as well as “non-traditional” or experimental.  The plays will be selected through a nation-wide blind search process.  There will be a $25 application fee for each entry.  The deadline for submissions is February 1, 2012.

Jane Dubin and Howard Meyer are curators of the series.

For more information about The Hudson Valley Writers’ Center, the New Play Reading Series, and for an updated schedule of readings, workshops and events, visit our website, www.writerscenter.org, or call 914-332-5953. The HVWC is located at the restored historic Philipse Manor railroad station, 300 Riverside Drive, Sleepy Hollow, NY, 10591.  The HVWC Setting the Stage New Play Reading Series is made possible, in part, through the support of a challenge grant from ArtsWestchester.
