Deadline: November 15th, 2009
• Name and contact info for producer/main contact person
• List of all other alumni attached to the project (at this point) and their role in the project
• Piece’s approximate running time
• Technical requirements
2) A one-page project description that addresses the following questions:
• How would you classify the work (new play, dance theatre piece, performance art, puppet opera, multi-media, re-imagined classic, etc)?
• Why are you passionate about this piece and what do you want it to say/do to an audience? Why this story now?
• What are the space requirements for your project? A large theatre, a black box, a studio, etc.
• What’s the project’s status and history (is there a completed script? How long have you been working on the project? Has it had any readings, workshops, or previous performances?)
3) A 15-page excerpt of the material (we may subsequently ask you to send the whole script)
4) A one-page project budget in excel format, including both expenses and income. Expenses should detail production costs as well as any additional costs or fees related to the project. You should also build a contingency into your budget of 7-10% more than you think you’ll need just in case – because the unexpected always happens. Income should include the $5,000 grant from Fordham plus any additional estimated grant money and individual contributions. Don’t include projected income from ticket sales because you will not have access to the box office receipts to cover outstanding production costs, fees, etc. Ticket sales will go into the Alumni Theatre Company fund for next summer. Your income and expenses should be the same (i.e. “zero out.”)
If you have any questions about the proposal, feel free to email any questions to fordhamalumnicompany@gmail.com
