We are the place where gifted artists can develop, hone and share their crafts within an open and accepting creative community
Although we hope to get back to live theatre very soon, our current work is all virtual. Please visit our YouTube page for more.
We Want You!
One House is always seeking to forge connections and foster the development of new works in the theatrical space and beyond. In service of that mission, we are looking to launch a new program called Open House – an opportunity to “open the doors” and match actors with early career writers as they prepare new works for development.
The goal is to connect writers in the early stages of project development with actors and other early career professionals so that a creative relationship can be forged from the very beginning of the creative process. We hope to foster a culture of ‘peer dramaturgy,’ in which actors can get involved on the ground level and, in some cases, originate new roles in public readings, workshops, films or productions. We would like to invite you to be a part of our network of writers and collaborators so that we can help you bring your idea to life.
As a first step, we are reaching out to playwrights, screenwriters, and other creatives who may be interested in developing a new piece for the stage, the screen, or the virtual space.
One House and the Open House Team of Aly Kantor and William Meurer, invite you to
submit a proposal of no more than two typed pages in which you respond to the following:
-Who are you, as a person and an artist? What kind of work do you create or hope to create?
-What is your project idea, in brief? Please give us details including the medium, anticipated length (one act, full length, short film, feature, etc), and a general aesthetic sense of what you hope to accomplish. You do not need to have begun work on the project to be considered, but you should have something in mind!
-What kind of support or resources do you need (or anticipate needing) in order to bring your proposed idea to the point of development?
-What are your goals and hopes for the piece?
We also ask for a brief writing sample, of no more than ten typed pages, that demonstrates your style and voice. Your writing sample can be related to the project that you are proposing but does not need to be.
Please submit no more than one unique proposal by Friday, February 5th, 2021 for consideration in the first development cycle.
Please email all submissions and submission materials to:
openhousesubmissions@gmail.com
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
The House is Open – we can’t wait to welcome you in!
