Seeking Short Plays

My name is Paige Toft and I am a Theater Production and Design major at Bryn Mawr College. A fellow major, Maya Neville, and I are doing a senior theater capstone project together next semester and are starting the preparation for it now. We are reaching out to you in search of playwriting students who would be interested in writing short plays for our project. If you could please send these details along to students you think might be interested, it would be greatly appreciated. Here are the details:

Looking for short 3-5 minute plays about modern dating culture on college campuses, including the theme of sexual assault. We are interested in exploring the "grey" areas of dating culture, including the themes of consent, love, communication, the media's perception and all else that feels vague or confusing in this context. We are interested in representing all experiences and all sides of the topic. Our goal is to create a mosaic/landscape piece representing the topic by choosing approximately 10 of the submissions to perform as part of our senior theater capstone project, NOT for profit.

The parameters of the plays:
-- 3-5 minutes long
-- No more than 3 women and 2 men per play
-- Submissions should be emailed to us NO LATER than NOVEMBER 14th.

Once the play is handed over to us, we would like to have ownership of the piece to be able to perform. We will read through all submissions and inform the playwrights as to whether or not we have chosen their play to perform.

Lastly, we are considering creating a website on which to upload all submissions. This would be to create an archive of plays of this theme. The plays will then be subject to the rules of Creative Commons, and unless otherwise specified, once handed over to us we will have rights to the submissions.
PLEASE indicate YES or NO whether or not your submission may be posted to this archival website. We will keep you informed on it as it progresses.

Thank you so much for your help!

Best,
Paige Toft
