Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks seeks both filmed and live short puppet works under five minutes long, in some way inspired by the plays, poetry or life of William Shakespeare (this can be an excerpt, an exploration, a mash-up, a what-if -- anything goes really). This a show for adults -- feel free to lean way into the delightful bawdy ridiculousness that is Shakespeare.
Send description of live pieces by email and completed filmed pieces by WeTransfer to administrator@pittsburghshakespeare.org ON OR BEFORE midnight APRIL 4, 2026. If selected, we will need additional information such as an introduction about you/your company, how you would like your piece to be described, and any publicity photos that you'd like to share. Depending on grant receipt, participants may possibly receive a small honorarium in the neighborhood of $25 to $50 American.
