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!
