Website

Deadline: July 1, 2023

PlayZoomers, a live, online theater company, seeks short (10-15 min.) scripts about theatre for production in 2023 or 2024. We seek humorous or serious, clever plays with themes related to actors, directors, playwrights, plays, critics, backstage crews, audiences, etc. Scripts should be suitable for online production. There will be no script submission fee required. If we produce your play, you will receive a small stipend.

Please email scripts to playzoomers@gmail.com In the email’s subject line, put “Theatre play submission: [title of play] by [playwright]”. If you are submitting multiple scripts, send each one in a separate email.

On the first page of your script include the title, playwright name, estimated run time, and contact information. On the next page, include a logline/synopsis, a detailed character breakdown, any production history, and a short playwright bio. At the end of the script, describe production details, such as backgrounds, costumes, props, music, and sound effects. For additional script formatting guidance, go to https://www.dramatistsguild.com/script-formats

The deadline for this round of submissions is July 1, 2023. As we read through scripts, we will acknowledge your submission and reach out to you only if your script is selected for production.
