Purple Rose Submission Guidelines

No deadline listed

WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES.

Thank you for choosing to submit your work to the Purple Rose Theatre Company. It is our mission to develop and produce new plays that give voice to a wide and diverse range of playwrights. We are unique in our journey toward quality storytelling, as we accept scripts from playwrights who have agency representation, as well as those who do not. Because of this, we receive a large number of submissions, and while we want to read everything that comes in, we also want to make sure that all who plan to submit understands that the Purple Rose is a professional theatre and only wishes to see the best work in which a playwright is capable. In addition to selecting a play that exemplifies a playwright’s storytelling ability, he/she/they must please adhere to the following guidelines to be accepted or considered.

  • The 40 pages must be part of a full-length play. At this time we do not accept One-Acts or monologues.
  • Please save the file as monthyear: TITLE OF PLAY_Last Name; ex. 0722: MY PLAY_Playwright
