This theater will pay you $25,000 for your Shakespearean fan fiction

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this amazing opportunity. Srsly :)

"The American Shakespeare Center, a regional theater company in Staunton, Virginia, is looking to stage new plays as companion pieces to William Shakespeare's classics -- all 38 of them.

'We're looking for remarkable playwrights from all walks of life. Do you have a great play that vibes off of Shakespeare's canon? Can you write a great play to be a companion piece to one of Shakespeare's plays? We want to see it.'"

Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape this offer. Get thee to a keyboard!!

This is soooooo cool.

Isn't it? Romeo and Juliet from the perspective of Juliet's mother or the priest. What happens to Malvolio in later life. Titania and Oberon's next adventure. So many possibilities!!!

I can think of some crossover among Shakespeare's works.
