When we announced we were extending our Next Link Project submissions deadline by a week in order to accommodate writers impacted by Hurricane Sandy, we had no idea what sort of onslaught we were in for. Nearly 80 submissions rolled in in the final 48hours alone, crashing our website once or twice!
 
Submissions are now officially closed for the Next Link Project, and our reading committee is hard at work evaluating all the applicants.
 
If you still have a project you'd like us to consider for the Festival, there's still hope! The remainder of the festival -- our Invited Shows, concerts, readings, and other special events -- get programmed around the Next Link slate, and we're always open to considering exciting projects.  For more information on how your show could be a part of the 2013 Festival, please click HERE!
