VENUE: Arts Guild Theater
These 10-minute plays by regional playwrights include comedy, satire, and drama and are always very entertaining.
This literary/theatrical event is scheduled for Spring 2013. As a playwright (or if you know a playwright) we will ask for submissions of a ten-minute play. Submissions are juried. Once accepted, the playwright is responsible to produce the play here at the Arts Guild theater.
Keep an eye on this page and on the E-Newsletter for details about the Very Short Play Festival sometime in January 2013.
Information for Literary Artists
We would love to have you submit your latest prose, poetry, or other literary artistry for our twice annual readings. The two events are "Summer Sonnets", usually held in August, and "Winter Words", usually scheduled for January. A deadline for submission is set prior to the reading itself.
Writers in the Northfield area are invited to submit 3 to 5 pages of their prose, poetry, or plays to the Arts Guild for jurying by a group of peer writers who select what will be read. This reading has no specified theme. Selections will be made and writers will notified before the reading takes place. Writers are expected to read their own material.
Works can be submitted electronically (by email) or by mail. Specific submission deadlines and requirements for each reading will be posted above.
If you are interested in publicizing, and other behind the scenes work we'd like to hear from you as well.
