Capital Repertory Theatre’s Twelfth Annual NEXT ACT! NEW PLAY SUMMIT

Website

Deadline: January 31, 2023

The submission process for Capital Repertory Theatre’s Twelfth Annual NEXT ACT! NEW PLAY SUMMIT is now open!

NEXT ACT!, now in its twelfth year, is an expansion of Capital Repertory Theatre’s (theREP) commitment to the development of new work. At the same time, the four-day long summit is designed to complement the Upper Hudson Valley’s rich diverse populations. NEXT ACT! New Play Summit 12 will take place in June of 2023 (exact dates coming soon) and will feature both in-person and virtual readings of several never-before produced plays, with additional events throughout the summit.

theREP is looking for scripts that use theatre to address injustices, inequities, and cultural collisions, providing a voice for the unheard on stage, in the workplace, the Capital Region and beyond. Specifically seeking scripts with racial, ethnic, generational, religious and gender diversity. Scripts that engage art and social justice.

Accepting full length plays only. (No Musicals.)

Pieces written by and featuring POC stories and characters are encouraged.

Maximum of 5 actors (doubling is allowed if it works to illuminate the story).

Comedy and Drama welcome!

ELIGIBILITY

Eligible plays cannot have been previously produced, though previous readings are allowed. Plays can have no more than five (5) actors (doubling is allowed if it works to illuminate the story).

Plays previously submitted to NEXT ACT! will not be considered!

Agent and non-agent submissions accepted – both must adhere to the guidelines.
