About me:
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
A-Squared Theatre Workshop, Chicago’s newest Asian American theatre company, currently seeks submissions for the “A-Squared Cabaret”. The Cabaret is a place for Asian American theatre artists to explore new works, reinvent old ones and showcase solo pieces. We seek performances from dance to song to experimental to monologues to comedy skits to stand up to improv, etc. We also seek musicians to perform between acts. Submissions conceived and/or performed by Asian American artists are greatly encouraged. Devised work also strongly encouraged. The Cabaret takes place in Autumn/Winter 2009/10 in Chicago. Submissions will be chosen based on artistic merit, clarity of vision, and balance with the other pieces. Send your submissions by July 31, 2009. Thanks!

THEATER COMPANY INFORMATION
A-Squared Theater Workshop is a Chicago based collective that creates an artistic environment of risk taking and growth for Asian American theater artists by dynamically bringing Asian American stories to the stage for general theater-going audiences. www.myspace.com/asquaredtheaterworkshop

SUBMISSION OUTLINE
All applications must include:
1. Letter of Intent: Maximum one page giving an overview of your work and how developed it is. What do you plan to do and how will you do it? What excites you about it?

2. Support Materials: We will accept anything that gives us an idea about what your work is: a CD of music; a DVD of a performance (5 minutes or less); a script or excerpts; a treatment of a script that has yet to be written; etc.

3. Resumes and short bios (50 words or less) of key performers. Letters of support from professional artists also accepted.

RULES & REGULATIONS
By submitting your proposal, you agree with the following:
• Your piece must be 20 minutes or less.
• Your piece must be able to be performed a few times a night in rotation with other pieces.
• A-Squared is not responsible for the handling of your sets/props etc.
• A-Squared will have one stage manager to share amongst all artists so your piece must be mostly self-sufficient. (There will be volunteers to help with the flow of the whole Caberet.)
• Each artist must comply with forthcoming rules in terms of room usage and damage (painting, hanging things on walls, etc.)
• Participating artists are responsible for obtaining the relevant production rights for their shows and performers.

DEADLINE
The deadline for submissions is July 31, 2009. All submissions must be received or postmarked by this date. Applications can be e-mailed to asquaredtw@yahoo.com or snail mailed to: A-Squared Theatre Workshop, c/o Cary Shoda, 5205 N Wayne Ave, 3rd floor, Chicago, IL 60640.

In 2007, A-Squared Theater Workshop performed several staged readings of plays written by or about Asians and Asian Americans. Check out some of the fliers and pictures from these reading in the photo section of this MySpace page. “Trial By Water” was our debut stage production.

Our most recent production, "The Wind Cries Mary" by Philip Kan Gotanda, closed on August 24, 2008. Thanks to all who came out to support us!

We also had a blast reading the play at the Association for Asian American Studies conference on Friday, April 18, 2008.

Thanks for making our benefit on Lunar New Year, February 7, 2008 such a HUGE success! This was a fund raiser for A-Squared Theater Workshop's production of "The Wind Cries Mary" and we raised almost $3,000! Thank you & you & NAAAP!

"I think I have just seen the future of American Theatre.”
—Michael Bourne, Circle Repertory Company

“Spiritually barren lives given meaning by fundamentalist religion. Comfortable lifestyles devoid of passion. And the finality of the gun. All reflect what happened to American values . . . and they form the subject of Edward Crosby Wells’ challenging new play, Flowers out of Season . . . one of the best things this innovative theater has done.”
—Jeff Bradley, Denver Post

*This play contains violence, sexual themes and language. There are also gunshot sound effects.
