Playwrights

Please read our submission guidelines carefully before submitting.
You may submit your script at anytime, but we read and respond in two windows:

For our Fall Workshop Series: we read scripts between March 1 and June 15, and aim to respond to all submissions by the first week of July.
For our Winter/Spring Workshop Series: we read scripts between August 1 and November 15, and aim to respond to all submissions by the first week of December.

We are happy to accept submissions that are being shopped elsewhere, but we ask that you contact us if your script is selected for another workshop, a staged reading, or production.

When you submit as a new-to-us playwright, we add you to our mailing list, so you can stay abreast of our events and opportunities. We strive to limit the number of newsletters you receive so that your inbox is not overwhelmed. *

Sounds Dandy! No, thank you.

"What a fantastic evening in Kristine's Eggs on Ice reading!! Thank you so much y'all!!"
~ Thelma M. Reyes

"The casting was fantastic, and the light staging worked perfectly. The whole night was really helpful to me for continuing to develop the piece, especially the dramaturg-led talkback."
~ Francesca Pazniokas
