Do you wish to go to the festival?

NYMF is one of the coolest festivals to be involved in. In fact the show we're bringing to Off Broadway started at NYMF. So I'm happy to be the one to trumpet the fact that submissions are now open! Info is below:

NYMF ACCEPTING NEW MUSICAL SUBMISSIONS

JANUARY 7 THROUGH MARCH 2, 2009!

The award-winning New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) is accepting open submissions for The Next Link Project, through which 12 subsidized production slots in our 2009 Festival are awarded.  ANY WRITER – produced or unproduced, with or without industry representation – can submit a script for consideration.  All scripts are blind-evaluated by 2-5 members of our reading team and GRAND JURY (past jurors have included Lynn Ahrens, David Henry Hwang, Kevin McCollum, Audra McDonald, Marsha Norman, Anthony Rapp, and Susan Stroman!)

If selected for The Next Link Project, you'll receive the following benefits:

·        Automatic acceptance in NYMF

·        Your production deposit WAIVED

·        Access to the Next Link dramaturg team

·        Access to exclusive industry networking events

·        Substantially discounted technical support

We are committed to presenting the most diverse array of work possible.  Our efforts have resulted in sold-out audiences, the Jujamcyn Theaters Award for “outstanding contribution to the development of creative talent for the theater” and countless post-festival commercial, regional and workshop productions, including [title of show], ALTAR BOYZ, GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL, THE

and more!

 

Scripts should be ready for developmental production and the widespread exposure NYMF provides.  The submission process is simple: complete our online form, pay the application fee and mail us your materials by FEBRUARY 2^nd (Early Bird Deadline; discounted fee) or MARCH 2^nd (Final Deadline).
