DEADLINE: March 26, 2010

Triskelion Arts is seeking work under 12 minutes that tickles a varied audience's collective funny bone, for the new Comedy in Dance Festival. The festival will run May 12-16 and 19-23, 2010 and will be headlined by a new, long work by Abby Bender Schmantze Theatre.

In addition to stand-alone pieces, excerpts of longer works as well as very short works are encouraged to apply.
