CuDC officially announced the Source Festival on September 17, 2007, almost a year after we started thinking about how to revive the Washington Theater Festival. There was a lot of pressure since the DC theatre community has changed a lot in the years since the festival. That’s where Jeremy Skidmore comes in. We’ve hired him to produce the festival, along with Merry Alderman and Jessie Gallogly. It’s going to be an exciting three weeks. We’re kicking it off with a week of 10-minute plays, each one directed by a local artistic director. Followed by a week of multidisciplinary work – dance, film projections, music, theater, improvisation, mime, spoken word, juggling, poetry, performance art – it’ll be a great adventure. Finally, week three will be 4 one-acts, selected from a group of 20 emerging playwrights. Audiences won’t know what not to see. And just as importantly, the Source Festival is a chance to bring together the DC theatre community, in a space where so many artists got their start. It’s all just really good energy.
Right now we’re looking for 10 minute plays. Check out www.sourcedc.org/sourcefestival for more information on the festival and how to submit your work.
