READINGS, WORKSHOPS, AND CONCERTS!

Opening Up Creative Expression in Middle Georgia

MLT’s brand new Readings, Workshops, and Concerts Series (RWC@MLT) explores original creative expression by Middle Georgia performing artists. We will accept proposals from guest directors for this series that will run on a single weekend during the year. These productions are meant to try out a new idea on an abbreviated production process. We especially welcome original ideas and performances that advance diversity, equity, inclusion and access at MLT.

Policies for RWC@MLT are as follows. By completing the application, you agree to abide by these policies during the rehearsal and run of the show:

1.      The theme of RWC@MLT is primarily readings, workshops, and concerts – we are trying to advance new and more experimental work in Middle Georgia. Therefore, crucially, the content of all proposals must be in the public domain, available to obtain with an ASCAP license, or a new performance with original authorship. Do not submit a proposal that requires payment for a new performance license. Please contact JP Haynie at hayniemlt@yahoo.com if you have questions about what will qualify.

2.      These are meant to be readings and workshop performances, not fully mounted productions, and RWC@MLT is meant to not take away from the MLT mainstage productions. Therefore, your proposal should require no more than 10-15 hours of rehearsal with performers (this is not just to use the theatre, but in general for your proposal).

3.      You must bring all scenic, costume, and props needed with you – or have an approved list of what will be pulled from MLT stock by our staff compiled no less than 14 days in advance of your production date.

4.      You are responsible as the lead producer/director to create the performances described in the proposal.

5.      The performances must take place in a single weekend, with no more than three showtimes in total over a period of two days.
