Although we encourage playwrights to consider the all-conference theme as food for thought, unrelated submissions will certainly be considered.<br><br>Plays accepted into the MATC conference will receive a staged reading during the conference with the collaboration of a director, a dramaturg, and a cast of actors.<br><br>Audiences are comprised of MATC participants from the Playwrights Symposium and from the other symposia of the conference.<br><br>For more information regarding the submission of ten-minute plays and information on sending resumes in order to participate as an actor, director or dramaturg, please click on the links below:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in;
