Calling all playwrights!

Flagler Playhouse will be producing an original adaptation of “A Christmas Carol” for its December holiday season play in 2012. Let your imagination soar and create a version of “A Christmas Carol” that we will put on with our performers, director and technical staff. It can be a traditional version, contemporary, future, local or far, far away. If you want to include music or singing be sure that your songs are either original or use non-copyrighted musical material.

General Guidelines:

- A one or two-act, family-friendly, unpublished original adaptation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol."

- May not have been previously produced professionally.

- No more than 12 actors.

- Run time of approximately 60 to 90 minutes.

- Minimal set and prop requirements.

- Submission deadline is Sept. 1. No entry fee required.

Submission Requirements:

- Three typed (Times Roman or Ariel 14 font) and bound copies in standard script form.

- Binding must be 3-hole punched or clipped only. We must be able to remove the pages to make additional copies.

- Submitted copies will not be returned, so keep a copy for yourself.

- We will use a blind submission process. Please provide two different cover pages: A removable top page, which includes the author's name and address along with the title, and a second cover page with only the title of the play. Please remember to remove your name from other places in the script, as well.

- Mail or hand deliver to Flagler Playhouse, 301 E. Moody Blvd., Bunnell, FL 32110.
