NOTE: Must have a letter of recommendation
Rules for Submission
- Full length scripts only.
- Plays must not have been previously produced. Readings are acceptable if no admission was charged and actors read from the script.
- Submissions should be made in standard manuscript form and with no fancy binding. This means no discs, no e-mails. Please just use a binder clip to secure the script pages, no folders, no plastic covers, etc. All author information must be on a title page separate from the body of the manuscript and no reference to the author is permitted in the body of the script.
- Scripts must be accompanied by a letter of recommendation from a theater company or individual familiar with your work. Letters of recommendation do not need to be specific to the play submitted; they may be general recommendations of the playwrights work. All letters must be received with the script, not under separate cover. Scripts received without a letter will not be considered.
- Entries must be postmarked no later than September 1, 2013 but no earlier than January 1, 2013.
- Due to volume of mail, manuscripts cannot be returned.
- Send submissions to:
Firehouse Theatre Project
