Play Submissions

​

ATTENTION PLAYWRIGHTS: We have reached our limit of 300 play submissions for 2023. Thank you so much, and we look forward to reading your work next season!

​

 

Are you a playwright with an original new play? We’d love to read it! Your play could be selected for a reading in our “Meet the Artist” series in May. Or it might even end up on our mainstage!

​

SUBMISSIONS: We accept scripts from January 1 through March 31. Please DO NOT SUBMIT plays from April through December. Submissions will be capped at 300 per year. Responses are made annually in late spring.

 

Also, please DO NOT SUBMIT BLIND COPIES of your script. Make sure your name and email address are on the script itself. We use your contact info in the script to reply to your submission. If you submit a blind copy, your script will not be considered.
