CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!
Pork Filled Productions sounds the call again, seeking new genre plays from playwrights of color, as PFP continues Unleashed! New Pulp Stories for the 21st Century. What began as a week-long festival of seven brand-new genre plays expands into an ongoing series of staged readings throughout the year. Deadline for submission is October 15, 2018. Extension through October 31, 2018.
“We’re looking for one acts, shorts, and full lengths,” says Roger Tang, executive director of PFP. “We embrace the gamut of genres, from detective stories to horror to science fiction and fantasy to super heroes. What we’re looking for are larger than life characters, with strong adventure-flavored storylines and plots.
“We have more stories in us than oppression porn or identity plays. We want to give writers of color free rein to let loose their full storytelling potential on stage. And we want the audience to have fun and we get to tell our stories.”
