EBE Ensemble Requests Submissions of New One-Act Plays for Fourth Annual
Festival in New York
An award-winning New York based theater group seeks 3 to 6 new short plays to be fully produced
in Spring 2011 as a part of their fourth annual festival, Elephants on Parade 2011.
New York, NY, May 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- EBE Ensemble (Eric Alba, Artistic Director; Montgomery

The Interview by Nico Vreeland, a play from last year's Elephants on Parade, won “Best New Short

April 2011 in New York City. Selected playwrights will receive a small stipend, be invited to participate
in an audience talkback, and be featured in an online interview series surrounding the festival.
