DMV Q-FEST 4.0 

Adventure Theatre MTC, ArtsCentric, and 4615 Theatre Company invite playwrights and theatre makers to DMV QFEST 4.0. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the anniversary of this festival, than with the artists who inspire us and each other to keep creating. 

 

4615 is particularly looking for writers interested in the bridge between old and new stories, and in breaking down conventions around storytelling form. As a company with a focus on emerging artists (of any age) we strongly encourage writers who have yet to have a full production with a major company to submit.

 

THEME: In this festival of work, the theme is “Into the Unknown”. Your unique vision, aesthetic, and experience should serve as the foundation. While this does not require anyone to share personal experiences, we do ask that all playwrights create narratives that represent their voice and no one else’s story. Speak from your truth.

 

 NEXT STEPS: If you are interested in participating as a playwright, here is what you need to know...
