How to submit a play

Playwrights with professional representation may have their agents send full manuscripts at any time. Please note that lawyers and law firms do not qualify as "professional representation" in this venue.

Playwrights who are not working with agents may send a submission inquiry; for consideration please include a cover letter, resume or production history, synopsis, complete list of characters and ten-page dialogue sample. If you are submitting a musical, send a sample recording as well. Please include a stamped, self-addressed envelope if materials are to be returned. Direct your inquiry to:
