Deadline: April 1, 2022
There are only two rules:
- The play must be set on the Lower East Side.
- The script must be 7-12 pages when in standard play format. Not every play is best served by rigidly conforming to either the new (https://tinyurl.com/new1) or classic (https://tinyurl.com/dgaclassic) Dramatists Guild format and you are free to submit your play formatted how you see fit, but please check the length.
- Jewish plays. The LES Play Festival is generously hosted by a synagogue and the LES itself has a rich Jewish history, so plays about the Jewish Lower East Side, both contemporary and historic, are of course welcome, but it is not a requirement.
- In English. The Lower East Side is a multilingual community. Plays do not have to be exclusively in English.
Submissions: https://forms.gle/pRbcaYfL7b2Pdorp8
There is no submission fee or participation fee.
Please no more than two submissions per playwright.
