 SOUND BITES  is an Annual 10-Minute Musical Festival. Any 10-minute piece that can be performed, has a story arch, and includes music, qualifies! Now in its tenth year, SOUND BITES offers an opportunity for talented musical theatre writers, composers, and lyricists to present their work in front of audiences and industry professionals. At Theatre Now, we strive to provide an experience that fosters community, service, growth, innovation, and diversity among the writing teams and musical selections. Through an open submission process, finalists are selected for presentation in New York City each spring. It's an annual event that continues not only to grow larger each year but past selections have gone on to be part of New York Musical Festival, Next Link Project, City Theatre’s Short Play Festival in Miami, FL, and The Samuel French Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival, licensing through Musical Theatre International (MTI). 

 

 Submissions for SOUND BITES TWELVE will begin 

 September 1st, 2024 

​

SOUND BITES is a springboard towards future ongoing work with writers we meet, work with and are vetted through the program. Future work with writers may include further development and production of full-length pieces, licensing of musical theatre works to schools, other professional theatre companies and community theatres and the publication of musical theatre works.

Land Acknowledgement

 

Our office is on the original homeland of the Munsee Lenape tribal nation. Theatre Now acknowledges the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory, and we honor and respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land on which we and our artists live and work.

 

As an organization and as artists, we often gather in virtual space. Take a moment to consider the legacies of colonization embedded within the technologies, structures, and ways of thinking we use every day. We are using equipment and high-speed internet not available to all communities. Even the technologies that are central to much of the art we make leave significant carbon footprints, contributing to changing climates that disproportionately affect indigenous peoples worldwide. Theatre Now invites you to join us in acknowledging all this as well as our shared responsibility: to make good of this time, and for each of us to consider our roles in reconciliation, decolonization, antiracism, and allyship.
