What:	Theater Company of Lafayette Seeks Play Submissions for Two New Play Projects Project One: 10,000 Wayniacs: Very Short Plays Inspired by Mr. Las Vegas. We are seeking short comedic sketches that address and/or lampoon life in Sin City. The plays will be woven together into a production to be presented in July, 2008. Scripts should be 30 seconds to four minutes in length, and should mention Wayne Newton. Small stipends are available. It's a chance to play! Scripts should be submitted electronically in standard playwriting format by April 1, 2008. Project Two: Separated at Birth: The Lincoln/Darwin Plays. We are seeking short plays that are inspired by Abraham Lincoln and/or Charles Darwin, and provide contemporary perspectives on the impact of these two men. Up to six short plays will receive full productions, and up to six will receive staged readings. The plays will be presented in Feb., 2009 as part of a celebration of both men's 200th birthday, Feb. 12, 2009. Submissions are due Aug. 1, 2008. For additional information on these project, contact TCL's Artistic Director, Madge Montgomery (madge@tclstage.org).

The cast should be no larger than 8. Characters may be of any age. 3. Setting must be minimal. The major design statement will be made through costuming, sound, and props.
