Overtime Theater

Dora is Ida's shrink. Dave shrinks Dora. Henry and Ida are in love (or are they?). Dave shrinks Henry, and Ida wants to direct a masterpiece. They are all caught up in an unsolvable puzzle. Pull up a couch, lean back, and let this strange dance brush past madness in a round of musical chairs, shrinks and freaks, life and art.

Characters Needed: IDA--A director; DORA-An analyst.; HENRY--Ida's boyfriend. A director. DAVE--An analyst. In love with Dora, his patient. The actors playing IDA and HENRY can range in age between late twenties to mid-thirties.  DORA and DAVE are older than IDA and HENRY.

Overtime Theater 2014 - Call for Submissions!

Submission Deadline: August 1, 2013

1203 Camden, Near the Pearl Brewery Complex, San Antonio, Texas, 78215

The Overtime Theater is seeking play submissions for our 2014 season. Devoted to original work, we are particularly interested in new plays that are innovative in form and bold and moving in content. San Antonio's "Theater for the People" -- the Current readers' favorite theater for four years in a row -- creates a wide range of plays, from scrappy nerdcore to weird fringe, from heartwarming to hilarious, and has a loyal following. Located near the blossoming Pearl Brewery complex at 1203 Camden Street, we are at the heart of the city's most exciting arts district, right next to the San Antonio Museum of Art, the Museum Reach of the Riverwalk, and the South Broadway renaissance.

We are seeking original experimental and devised work, film and novel adaptations, translations and adaptations of classics, musicals, genre parodies, political pieces, community-based plays, science-fiction and superhero epic adventures, broad comedy, gritty realism, and especially that which we haven't seen and can't be categorized. We are looking for unique local and national voices, visions, characters, and worlds that could only be live theatrical events, although they may (and are encouraged to) engage other media.

In all the plays we select, we are looking for work charged with a sense of now, pieces that wake the audience up to the present moment.

Please submit all completed plays or inquiries to BOTH the Literary Manager, Rachel Joseph at rjoseph@trinity.edu and the Artistic Director, Kyle Gillette at kgillett@trinity.edu no later than August 1, 2013. We only accept electronic submissions on a .pdf or .doc file. Please include contact information, cast requirements, and technical aspirations.

We will acknowledge receipt of work and inform playwrights of their submission status by the end of November 2013.

*Because all of the work at the Overtime is indeed created "overtime," artists receive compensation through our "love bucket"--audience donations split with the cast and crew. To be honest, it isn't a lot, but that has never stopped us from surviving and thriving as a truly unique independent theater.

We look forward to reading your work!  Sincerely,Kyle Gillette, Artistic Director; Rachel Joseph, Literary Manager; and The Overtime Theater
