3 Chairs 2 Cubes

3 Chairs 2 Cubes is a yearly festival of short (5-20 minute), student-directed plays by undergraduate writers, performed in PW’s downstairs space. We’re looking for four to six terrific new plays, four to six awesome directors and a whole bunch of actors. The plays chosen will be performed in PW’s dazzling downstairs space. Unlike other opportunities to work in theatre at Brown, 3 Chairs 2 Cubes offers flexible schedules (outside of the normal nightly 7-11pm rehearsal calendar) based on individual cast schedules. Last year, 3 Chairs 2 Cubes performed to full houses and introduced a group of new faces to Brown theatre.

3 Chairs 2 Cubes is about nurturing new playwrights. By restricting productions to limited tech and a set consisting of three chairs and two cubes, we hope to focus attention on the writer and the script. Writers are given a chance to revise their scripts during the rehearsal process, and many continue work on their plays even after the festival has closed.

Plays are picked for the festival by a committee of PW board members. The plays are submitted anonymously. To learn more about submission guidelines, click here.

Directors are chosen by an application to a committee of PW board members. To learn more about directing applications and directing for 3 Chairs 2 Cubes, click here.
