Play Submissions

Playwrights, we'd love to read your script! Please take a look at the parameters below. Scripts will be considered for our Meet the Artist reading series in May, and for production on our mainstage.

​

SUBMISSIONS: See below for submission form. We accept scripts from November 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, or until we reach our cap of 300. Please DO NOT SUBMIT plays from January through October. 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.
