BARNARD—BarnArts Center for the Arts is now accepting short script submissions for its third Haunted Village Theater, set to take place on Friday, Oct. 18. Writers are invited to submit original works that are Halloween-adjacent, 5–10 minutes in length, and adaptable for outdoor performance around a fire pit. The deadline for submissions is July 11.
Scripts should be suitable for all ages or capable of being adjusted for family-friendly presentations. Flexibility for indoor staging is also encouraged in case of inclement weather.
First launched in 2021 as a creative response to pandemic-era performance limitations, Haunted Village Theater quickly became a community favorite. The immersive, walking-style theatrical experience brings short scenes to life in locations throughout Barnard village. The event now alternates each fall with BarnArts’ seasonal musical.
Interested playwrights can submit their work at: forms.gle/ds2qdapvRPpeqkm46. Those interested in acting or directing should stay tuned for auditions, which will be announced later this summer.
