Dream Theatre Company seeks Actresses, Directors and Designers/Artists for our annual 24 hour festival: THEATRE OF WOMEN 5. Please see information below, please email headshot, resume or statement and resume to annainthedarkness@gmail.com.

info:

THEATRE OF WOMEN 5 is an annual 24 hour festival (9/11/10) of new work casting and writing for only women. This year we have 5 words for the participants: funny, sexy, fearless, smart, flirty

Dream Theatre Company strives to push our audience to the end and bring them back again. The theme of "Theatre of Women" historically was to have roles written for the actress to show the world that Passion, Strength, Innocence, and Intelligence are traits to be valued and celebrated by every human, gender aside. For THEATER OF WOMEN 5 we wanted to explore these 5 simple words about women: funny, sexy, fearless, smart, flirty. The exploration can include any combination of the words. We are also inviting artists to work with each team to develop a cohesive artistic look for each play. They can be lighting designers, set designers, costume designers, visual artists, sculptors or any other type of artist that would be ready to make these shows look great!

This celebration of the ACTRESS is an accelerated process.  In our 24 hour festival we will cast only ACTRESSES to read, memorize, rehearse and perform the plays written only hours before in the span of 15 hours.
