CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Open Jar is now calling for submissions to participate as one of the new shows presented at the October 2nd Broadway Shark Tank. The event is open to all writing teams who have completed a first draft of their original musical/play (whether it be in “concept” phase, or have had a full production). Teams should submit their materials HERE (or at https://forms.gle/nuqQrXCiZ8i4FWtq7). The submission deadline is Sunday September 10th at midnight and the selected teams will be notified by Monday September 18th.
If selected, each show’s team will be allowed 8 minutes to speak about the project and present 1-2 songs (or excerpts). Each team is responsible for covering any costs associated with presenting their work (stipend to their actors, pianist, etc).
The panel will consist of prominent figures in the Broadway industry. The team will provide constructive feedback on each pitch and advice as the show progresses towards their next steps. Panel members to be announced soon.
“The inaugural Broadway Shark Tank in April was such a hit, that we had to bring it back!” said Jeff Whiting, President and CEO of Open Jar Studios. “I firmly believe that Broadway musicals have the ability to uplift and transform lives, and Open Jar is proud to provide this special opportunity to support new writing teams for both plays and musicals. We are also proud that many of the shows from our first Broadway Shark Tank have moved on to the next significant stages of their development”
