Jewish Women's Theatre seeks short plays and monologues

web site

Okay, you’re Jewish, that’s a good start, but how “Jewish” do you have to write? When submitting material, consider the following parameters for your submission:

Please check the themes of the season and submit accordingly. We will not accept late submissions this year.  Thank you!

Sex Addiction & Love in the 21st Century
Deadline for submissions June 1st 2019

• Please make sure your name and title of your work appear on your submission.
• An element of Jewish resonance is important, but your submission does not need to feature being Jewish as the prominent theme or subject.
• Feature women or a woman’s point of view, but not exclusively. Male characters are welcome.
• Short one-acts (10 minutes max) and monologues (7 minutes max) are preferred.  Will read full-length, but unlikely will produce.
• 1500 words or less preferred
• Must be topical for the 21st century. While we consider plays set in another time period, we mostly select contemporary pieces.
• Small cast a must. One-person shows okay.
• Previously produced or published work is welcome. Please include production and/or publication history. A new version of a classic or an adaptation from another medium would definitely be of interest.

Although the primary focus of JWT is on the writing, music is often a part of our events. We encourage composers, song-writers, and performers to submit individual work. Musicals are welcome.

Submit your material to ronda@jewishwomenstheatre.org. Be sure to let us know the salon you are submitting for in the subject line of your email.
