Writer Wednesday: Open Submissions
CALLING ALL WRITERS!
Following our triumphant Carnegie Hall / Lincoln Center "Gratitude" show in January, we're excited about our upcoming "Jew-ish" event on March 15 at the Ossie Davis Theater in New Rochelle (sponsored by UJA Federation of NY), and we can hardly wait to share the details of a Bryant Park event we're developing for this summer. Meanwhile, here are our upcoming topics and deadlines. What’s your story?
On Mothers
We’ve all got one, and so did she. Maybe you’re a mother, or you’ve seen others in action. We’re interested in stories about mothers, mothering, and various act of motherhood, from any and all perspectives.
Deadline: March 1, 2020
Show: 2PM Saturday, May 2, 2020
Venue: City Winery, New York City
What’s Cooking?
Share your stories of culinary trials, triumphs, and disasters. How did you learn to feed yourself and others? Tell us about that short-lived fast food job, the camping trip, or the dormitory basement kitchen. Recall the power failure with dinner guests, that fussy child, the elegant restaurant, Grandma’s kitchen, the wedding reception.
Deadline: August 1, 2020
Show date / venue to be determined
Myths
Ancient myths are magical, cautionary tales crowded with heroes, monsters, and fire-spewing gods. But all myths are not ancient; they’re alive and well in every country and town where they nourish, sustain, and occasionally undermine generations of families. Every family has a narrative about a great triumph or failure—sometimes true, often not. In 650 or fewer words, tell us about yours and about the ways it’s altered your life.
