Cincinnati LAB Theatre’s 2020 New Works Festival

web site

Deadline: February 29, 2020

Cincinnati LAB Theatre is planning its seventh producing season and is now accepting submissions to fill two original play readings and two fully staged workshop productions. Cincinnati LAB Theatre will be producing two scripts as staged readings and two fully staged workshop productions over two weekends in a rotating festival format for the New Works Festival in the summer of 2020.

To be considered for a staged reading a playwright must submit an original, unpublished, fully realized script of at least 30 minutes in length.

To be considered for a fully staged workshop production a playwright must submit an original, unpublished, fully realized script of at least 45 minutes in length that has previously had at least one verifiable staged reading.

Only plays with no more than 6 characters will be accepted.

Playwrights must be available to be present for at least 50% of the workshop/rehearsal process and during at least one performance. 

Plays previously produced as staged readings by Cincinnati LAB Theatre will be given special consideration for fully staged workshop productions.

Submissions for the two summer festival readings and the two summer festival productions will be accepted until February 29, 2020.

Submissions will be accepted by emailing a script to cincinnatilabtheatre@gmail.com.


Please attach the script to the email as a portable document file (.pdf) or as a Microsoft Word file (.doc). In the body of the email, please include the playwright’s full contact information.

Furthermore, if the play has been previously workshopped and/or had a staged reading, please provide all the pertinent details of the workshop and/or reading.

Please feel free to contact one of the artistic directors directly by emailing us at cincinnatilabtheatre@gmail.com if you have any questions for concerns.
