DAPOPO THEATRE is requesting NEW PLAYS for its octennial play reading series. 

The workshop turns the pages of KAMP, a new musical, book by Jamie Bradley, at the DaPoPo Live-In 2015.  

Submissions will be reviewed by a curatorial committee of DAPOPO CORE ARTISTS and presented throughout October as part of the LIVE-IN FESTIVAL 2016. Works relating to this year's theme, WORKING TOGETHER, are especially encouraged. Preference will also be given to writers able to attend their reading in October.  

High students read Insomniac Society by Stacey Lane at the DaPoPo Live-In 2015.  

We are interested in UNTRIED IDEAS: One-acts, works-in-progress, third drafts, total revisions, and detailed project descriptions (as-yet-undrafted) are welcome. DaPoPo champions style-mashing, genre-hopping, unusual perspectives, and all manner of diversity.

Kim Parkhill leads a talk-back after The Library of Missing People by Kate Cayley in collaboration with Zuppa Theatre

DEADLINE: JULY 31 2016.

Please submit to dapopolivein@gmail.com as word-compatible (.doc.docx) or (if formatting/typography is non-standard) .pdf files.

Questions are also welcome.
