CALL FOR PLAYS IN TRANSLATION

In association with the ALTA44 Conference: “Inflection Points” (for the 2nd year), The Scoundrel and Scamp Theatre seeks short form plays in translation for an in-person staged reading performed by local actors.

We are particularly interested in plays that meet the following criteria:

• Plays translated from any other language into English

• Plays that have a cast of six characters or less 

• Plays that feature content that is aligned with Scoundrel and Scamp’s mission to create “immersive and imaginative experiences for a diverse, cross-generational audience that inspire empathy and encourage discourse" and/or the conference theme of "Inflection Points".

• Plays that speak to the trauma of war & conflict

• Plays that resonate with the idea of looking back to go forward and the shifts that occur.
