American Identity

Michael Height, general manager of the ID America Festival, a theater festival taking place this November on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, reached out to me, saying he’s seeking plays on the topic of American identity. And he’d like the Sacramento theater community to participate.

Says Height: “We are seeking submissions of one-act plays that deal with this subject from all corners of America and the world. Our hope is to have these plays foster a dialogue between those with differing points of view.”

Height represents an organization called Quo Vadimus Arts, which his Web site says is “an international community of artists working to promote the exchange of ideas and experiences between cultures. Quo Vadimus means ‘where are we going?’ ”

He says that between 10 to 16 short plays will be chosen for performances at the Clemente Solo Velez Center in New York City, from Nov. 6-21. Four to five plays will be selected for a national tour of universities and regional theaters in 2008.

Go here or here to submit your play or to learn more about the festival.
