Montreal Anarchist Theatre Festival Call for Submissions

Montreal's newly created 'Anarchist Theatre Festival' is now seeking submissions of
anarchist theatre pieces to be staged May 8 & 9, 2006. This will be North America's
first ever festival of anarchist theatre.The festival is part of Montreal's annual 'Festival of Anarchy' that leads up to the city's
7th annual 'Anarchist Bookfair,' May 20 & 21st, the largest anarchist event in North America.
We are looking for theatre pieces about anarchists, anarchist ideas, history, or any subject
related to anarchism. We will consider plays or monologues that are original new work, or
that have already been performed, or that have been written by anarchists (historical or
contemporary). The pieces can be either full productions or staged readings in either French or
English.

We are looking for work that is anti-State, anti-capitalist, non-sexist,
non-homophobic, anti-Empire, anti-authoritarian, etc. We want anarchist content written by either
anarchist playwrights or writers who are sympathetic to anarchism. ( Please see the 'Principles'
section of the web site of the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair for a more detailed description of
appropriate guidelines for 'anarchist' content.We ask all potential participants to explain why they believe their proposal would fit in this
Festival.

This is an all-volunteer event, thus, without any remuneration. The Festival will provide
publicity, an appropriate indoor venue, and a guaranteed interested audience. (All proceeds
from sale of tickets will
cover Festival expenses and be used for staging future festivals.)

If interested, please send either an outline of your proposal, or a few sample pages from your work
NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 22, 2006 to either:
anarchistfestival@yahoo.ca
or

@ Theatre Festival
