The Brick is now accepting submissions for its new play reading series, The Oven. Each month, The Brick will pair a playwright with a director, dramaturg, and team of actors to work in depth on their script over the course of one week. At the end of each development period, The Brick will present a public reading at its space in Williamsburg. Plays must be full-length, between 45 minutes and 2 hours in length, unproduced and original. Only one submission per playwright. Preference will be given to plays that embrace The Brick’s mission and aesthetic.
There are no geographic limitations on who can submit, but please note that all rehearsals will take place in New York, and playwrights are responsible for their own expenses. Plays that have had readings or workshops in NYC during the past six months will be ineligible.
To apply, send a cover letter, resume and PDF or Word file of the play to oven (at) bricktheater.com.
