Submission Opportunity

I know that most of us are oriented around the short story/novel, but if you're at all interested in theatre (or film, performance art, whathaveyou) and want to be involved in this, there's still time to submit something for UT's New Work Week. Basically, UT devotes a weekend of performances to staged readings of student written or devised work. Note the exciting bit about half way down - what you submit doesn't have to be finished. This tends to be a pretty neat experience, so if you've ever dreamed of seeing your writing staged, or have a play or screenplay stashed under your bed, this is a great chance to dust it off.

The deadline is close, but I literally just remembered this yesterday. E-mail me if you want the submission form.
Cheers
