The written analysis and rehearsal journal must be submitted electronically to Cathy Hurst by January 15th, 2009. These electronic submissions will be distributed among the SSDC Respondents before the regional festival.

After the preliminary round of scenes, finalists will be selected and interviewed. Before the final presentation, at least one of the respondents will visit a working rehearsal.
