Accepting Proposals for New Work Development Series - Springboard

In an effort to encourage artistic growth and spark creativity, CPT created Springboard. Springboard will perform in the Fall of 2012. Springboard seeks to nurture the growth of emerging and established directors, support the development of new scripts, and act as a catalyst for forming and deepening relationships between playwrights and directors.

DIRECTORS
In selecting directors for Springboard we are hoping to form a team with diverse training and backgrounds. We are looking for directors interested in innovating and in developing new work. Because directors will need to accomplish a great deal of work in the selection process, we will be looking for hard working people who can get the job done.

We are not necessarily looking for the most experienced directors. We want to find directors that will truly benefit from being part of this series.

Deadline for director application: June 11, 2012

PLAYWRIGHTS
In selecting plays for Springboard we are seeking works that are in development and playwrights who are interested in working on their scripts.

Playwrights are expected to participate in the rehearsal process and respond to feedback from directors and producers.

We are not necessarily looking for the best scripts. We want to find projects that will truly benefit from being part of this series and playwrights that want to form and deepen relationships with directors and actors.

Springboard is not about completed works, but it is about seeking excellence, creating meaningful connections, and taking risks.
