Cabrini Repertory Theater is stimulating the community of Washington Heights by offering its vibrant artists the chance to stage original works in their beautiful proscenium theater. Cabrini, which aims to help young playwrights, musicians, and visual artists present their work and learn how to put a production on its feet from start to finish, has successful festivals under their belt already, and this year will be adding a brand new festival to their line up: the Griot Festival.
The Griot Festival offers the unique opportunity for playwrights/theatrical artists and Producers of African American descent who reside in NY and NJ to step beyond the page and see their words upon the stage. With no fee required to submit a play, the Winner for Best Play can receive a prize of $2,500 and Best Actor and Best Actress in the festival will receive $500. The submission deadline for the One Act is October 15th, and accepted plays are considered on a first-come, first-served basis. The festival will run from November 1,2013 through January 1, 2014.
Listen to Franco Moschetti of The Cabrini Repertory as he introduces The Griot Festival on the Air It Out Show.
