We are especially interested in works that engage with the season theme in some way. Works may approach this theme from any perspective; we will do the work to make it fit in the broader scope of our season's performances. We will select 1-3 works to be performed at least once during our 2018-19 season. The entire application process is easy, electronic and free.
