Interested in writing or directing the 2017 Halloween Show?

The Yale Symphony Orchestra is excited to announce that pitches of a literary and/or directorial nature are now being accepted for the 2017 Halloween Show.

Since 1992, the Halloween Show has taken the format of a feature-length silent film accompanied by the Yale Symphony Orchestra. For 2017, We welcome pitches of any length. Don’t let length worry you; if you have an idea, please submit! The Halloween Show may have one long narrative, or any number of shorter ones. By extension, it is thus possible for the show to have multiple directors.

Innovation is welcome!

Pre-formed collaborations are welcome, as are solo proposals. At this point, we are accepting applications from prospective writers and/or directors only. A general call for production staff and video editors may be released at a later date at the discretion of YSO management and the show’s director(s).

We look forward to reading your creation. If you have any questions/comments/insults, please contact Morgan Jackson (morgan.jackson@yale.edu) or YSO president Cindy Xue (cindy.xue@yale.edu).

How to apply:

*Applications will be accepted from current freshman, sophomores, and juniors in Yale College only (if you are currently a senior and have a million-dollar script for the show, please contact morgan.jackson@yale.edu and cindy.xue@yale.edu and we can discuss matters).

1. Fill out the application questionnaire below.

2. Write a proposal – either a detailed plot summary or outline of scenes for a silent film. Please include at the top of the document a succinct summary and estimated length.

3. Save your resume (no experience is required!) as a pdf.

4. Submit items 1-3 by email to brian.s.robinson@yale.edu by Saturday, April 21st, 2017.
