Twainathon:
January 2007
Twainathon, scheduled for January 15th through January 28th, 2007, is a collection of new plays to celebrate the spirit of Mark Twain.
Submissions will be considered for co-production in the festival, and are welcome from individual artists and performance companies alike. Co-producers will take responsibility for conceiving and creating their contribution to the festival, with use of Metropolitan's space and physical resources. Metropolitan will coordinate and promote the festival as a part of its 15th Season: "Black and White."
