Ingenio Milagro

Introducing INGENIO MILAGRO, a new works development program and play festival for Latina/o playwrights.

INGENIO MILAGRO serves as an intrinsic step in the development of new full-length theatrical works through concert and table readings, guiding playwrights and their works from concept to production. Directors, dramaturgs and actors bring the plays to life through a concert or table readings for an audience of theatre professionals and members of the public. The readings are followed by a moderated feedback session. Playwrights choose their level of involvement from rehearsal to presentation to feedback session, remotely and/or in person.


CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The inaugural INGENIO MILAGRO play festival will take place September 8–10, 2017. Four plays will be selected for a concert reading and presented over three days after a short rehearsal period. In addition, six to ten plays will be selected for table readings to be held throughout the season. Please note: there will be no travel stipends at this time.

DIRECTOR—All plays will be matched with a director. Directors will cast their play, work with the playwright during pre-production and rehearsal process, schedule rehearsals, and will give feedback on their assigned plays with the dramaturg.

DRAMATURG (intern position)—Dramaturgs collaborate with the playwright and director on the development of the script, including coordinating the feedback sessions, asking questions, and mediating feedback to the playwright. No previous dramaturgy experience is required. Students are encouraged to apply.

ACTOR—We will be looking for actors to read at the September play festival as well as for the table readings throughout the year. If you would like us to consider you, please send us your headshot and resume, state clearly your proficiency in both English and Spanish and your general availability. Spanish is not required.

For consideration, please email us at ingenio@milagro.org and state for which field(s) you would like to be considered.
