Is Suzan-Lori Parks available to consult on the script if we have any questions?
Unfortunately, no. As this project is occuring simultaneously in 7 cities with 52 theater companies in each city, the demands on Suzan-Lori’s time as co-producer of 365 Days/365 Plays are quite high. The Z Space and the 365 Project are interested in YOUR interpretation and YOUR vision of this work.
What if our application is successful but we don’t have performance space?
We do not want lack of performing space to be a limitation in the application process. We will do our best to match you with a theater venue, if that is what you are looking for. If you are looking for a more site-specific location, it is your responsibility to secure that space.
Can I change my proposed weeks at any time?
Once you fill out Step One (see application), you will not be able to change your performance week choices in your application. In order to coordinate the schedules of all San Francisco participants we are requesting availability for THREE different weeks, at the top of the application process. You will only perform ONE WEEK. By requesting three possible weeks, it gives us greater flexibility to manage schedules and make best efforts to accommodate your proposed dates, especially if unforeseeable circumstances makes one of those proposed weeks impossible.
What if our schedule changes between application and notification dates?
If unforseeable circumstances make changes in your application absolutely necessary, after you complete Step Two (see application), please e-mail 365sf@zspace.org as soon as possible. We will address each conflict on a case by case basis.
Can I send additional application material (visuals, reviews etc)?
We are more interested in your application than in additional materials about your company. However, if you have additional materials that you feel MUST be included with your application, please send them to:
365 DAYS/365 PLAYS
The Z Space Studio
131 10th Street, 3rd Floor
San Francisco, CA 94103
Do not send material that you would like returned.
If I’m choosing a site-specific location, do I have to show the Z Space any permits by the time the application is due on August 1st or ever?
You are responsible for producing your week’s worth of plays, including securing appropriate permits/permission if you are performing in a site-specific public or private location.
Will participation in 365 Days/365 Plays cost us anything?
You are financially responsible for producing your week’s worth of plays - should that include design elements, actor fees, etc. There are no stipulations on the size of budget necessary to perform this work. It can be as little or as much as you can manage.
Can the Z Space or its co-producers help with fundraising for our week?
Unfortunately, the Z Space Studio and its co-producers cannot help with fundraising for each individual company's performance week.
Who’s handling tickets/reservations for the year?
Every 365 participant will be handling the box office for their own specific performance week.
Are there any restrictions to how we stage and produce our week?
The only restrictions on how you stage and produce your week’s worth of plays are those you place on yourself. Production values can be as simple or elaborate as fits with your vision of your week’s worth of plays.
Can students apply?
Students should NOT apply directly to the Z Space Studio as there is a college network for 365 Days/365 Plays in the process of being created. E-mail 365sf@zspace.org for more information.
Can different theatre companies or artists make a joint application to 365?
Yes. Different theatre companies or artists can make a joint application to 365 to produce one week’s worth of plays. Both theatre companies/ artists must meet the eligibility requirements, specifically that all applicants must have professionally produced at least one show in San Francisco in the last three years. Please choose one theatre company as the primary contact for the application.
If our application is unsuccessful, how else can we get involved?
Volunteers will be needed throughout the year to help with 365 Days/365 Plays! Please e-mail 365sf@zspace.org if you are interested, anytime!
Where can I find out more about the 365 Days/365 Plays National Project?
