(Posted 6/01/11) The Philly Urban Theater Festival (PUTF) is currently accepting submissions for its 2nd annual season to be held at the The Adrienne Theatre Mainstage and 2^nd Stage at 2030 Sansom St. in Philadelphia September 19 through October 9, 2011. PUTF, produced by GoKash Productions., is a three-week celebration of urban theatrical expression by a cross-section of playwrights. This annual event showcases theatrical works that echo the true spirit of urban life and speak to a whole new generation whose lives defy categorizing along conventional lines.  Our theme for 2011 is “Diversity on Stage” and as such, each production presented will need to have some racial diversity representation in the cast. For PUTF 2011, we will accept approximately 12-15 full length theatrical works (60 – 120 minutes). Each work is performed only once during the festival. Two of the outstanding works produced during the festival will receive $1,000 awards in the categories of Best Play and Best Audience. There is no submission or participation fee. *With recent history as the marker, outstanding works will also be considered for co-production opportunities throughout the year.
