Submissions of both scripts and trans-disciplinary projects will be accepted in hard copy format only (no electronic submissions). DVDs and support materials are welcome. Submissions are reviewed by a reading committee made up of staff, artists and community members, and each project will receive a response within six months. Please note we do not provide a critique of your script or dramaturgical feedback.
Guidelines:
- Please provide two (2) copies of all materials including script or production project details including an outline of the play’s developmental history, artists involved and any other support materials.
- When possible, our committee members read each script blindly before looking at supplementary materials; please do not include your name on each page of your script.
- Please include a large self-addressed stamped envelope if you wish to have your materials returned.
- Our committee will review a script or project once.
- We will only review one script or project per writer per season.
