Yo Young Artistes...

THE PAPRIKA FESTIVAL IS NOW ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS FOR THE 2006-2007 FESTIVAL!!!

The Paprika Festival is accepting submissions in all styles of writing, or in the form of a detailed project description, from young artists who want to learn about more about theatre, challenge themselves and work towards the performance of their own new work. Participants begin working with the festival in the Fall of 2006, and develop their projects with the support of a wide range of professional artists.

The festival culminates in public presentations March 15-25, 2007 in the Studios at the Tarragon Theatre.

Passionate voices, new ideas, original approaches – we want you to break new ground as the next generation of theatre and performance artists!

We are looking for submissions from young artists of all levels of experience.

Call for submissions deadline: sept 15, 2006
