Big Story Small 2012!

Performing at Theatre Off Jackson May 10, 11, & 12.  

Pony World Theatre is bringing back our 2010 creation, Big Story Small, with an all new collection of theatre classics distilled into potent little packages.  

And PWT is currently soliciting scripts and seeking directors and designers for Big Story Small!  

ANNOUNCEMENT

Pony World is seeking script submissions for our May 2012 production of Big Story Small, an evening of short plays in which great works from the theatrical canon are distilled into potent little packages. This critically-praised event was previously produced in June 2010, and will be remounted with a new batch of scripts at Theatre Off Jackson in May.

Writers should choose an iconic existing script (see 2010 production list below for examples) and write a ten-minute adaptation that captures the original’s essence while translating it into a unique new work. Additionally, writers should choose a staging concept which lends itself to both the themes of the original script and the idea of condensing a vast world into miniature scale; e.g. “Death of a Salesman” unfolding from Willy Loman’s sample case, “Les Liaisons Dangereuses” as a complicated dance, or “Noises Off” as a PowerPoint presentation gone amok.

Directors and designers may partner with a writer to develop a script, or lead a generative process to create the piece.  Directors or designers who would like to be  considered for work on a submitted script, please send a brief letter of interest and resume.  For directors and designers who would like to propose a play concept, please also include your proposal.
