New call for submissions for Beg Borrow and Steal Festival - DUE DATE JULY 20, 2007

The Hart House Drama Society is making a second call for submissions for the Beg Borrow and Steal Festival. Due to limited time between the original call and due date there was a lack of submissions. We hope that giving more time will encourage students to submit, to what we believe, is a great opportunity to put original student work on stage.

The new call date will be July 20, 2007.
Since the original call it has also been decided that we will no longer require the writer and director to be separate people, however it is preferred. The plays submitted also do not need to be complete at the time of submission.
If you are a writer without a director, or a director without a writer and wish to find a match please e-mail us at harthouse.drama@utoronto.ca before June 30, and we will try to set you up with a writer or director who has also expressed interest in the festival.
Please e-mail us at that address if you have any other questions or comments about our festival.


Here is some more information about the festival:
The phenomenal success of last October's inaugural Beg Borrow & Steal Festival has paved the way for its second year! The Hart House Drama Society is now seeking submissions for this season's festival, the only one of its kind on campus.

4 student written, directed, acted, and produced one-act plays will be given 100 dollars' budget, rehearsal space and a performance venue, plus a workshop with a professional director. Next October, these shows will play over four nights in the HHDS Studio Theatre, with two performances each. The performances will take place on 10, 11, 12, and 14. An Audience Choice Award will afford the winning company a remount sponsored by the HHDS.
