A Call to Submit for

IN CHARACTER | The Monologues

Call for Submissions …

THE ROSE is seeking short comedic monologues for the creation of a curated digital film & audio series titled IN CHARACTER. Selected monologues will be produced and released by THE ROSE for use across digital platforms, including digital audible, Instagram and You Tube channels. Writers may make multiple submissions. This is an open-ended project. Writers will retain all rights to their words. THE ROSE Theatre Co. will retain all rights to the audio-video content and their production of the monologues submitted. Please note that all submissions are voluntary and unpaid. 

GUIDELINES: 

1.   For the first round we’re looking for pieces that are COMEDIC (light-hearted) in tone but all genres welcome.

2.   Scripts should run 2 to 4 minutes

3.   Should require no more than one actor

4.   The submission should be devoid of all stage directions and settings.  An optional explanatory paragraph of the piece may accompany the submission but should not be a part of the script itself.

5.   Your script should be a standalone piece where the audience loosely experiences an entire arc of story ... a sense of a beginning, a middle (turning point, change, revelation) and a sense of resolution.

6.   Your script will be assigned to a professional actor contracted by THE ROSE Theatre Co. and will be performed in one pass.  Be advised that scripts may not be assigned according to age, gender, race, or ethnicity.

7.   We’re looking for compelling, well-told and entertaining first-person stories. Non-traditional pieces (stand-up, literary, poems, music, sketch, spoken-word) are welcome provided they meet the guidelines.
