Deadline: September 30, 2023 at 11:59 PM CT
Attention Playwrights! Memoriam Development is seeking submissions for our fifth production of ‘Nightshade’ a one act horror anthology show.
This year, in addition to the horror genre, we are adding the theme “Love Can Be a Nightmare”. Delve into the darkest corners of your imagination, or just draw from your own experiences dating in 2023 (it's scary out there) and submit your most sinister, disturbing and macabre stories to our jury.
If your script is chosen, it will be performed by a cast of phenomenal Chicagoland actors. Live performances are scheduled for February in Elgin Il.
Guidelines:
Submissions must be 5-10 pages (or minutes in length when performed). No elaborate sets or special effects please. Stories must be able to be easily produced in a black box theater setting.
All genres and subgenres of horror that fit the theme are encouraged.
Deadline for submissions is September 30.
Submit your one act with cover sheet including your name and contact information by 11:59pm CT on September 30. All questions can be directed to memoriamdevelopment@gmail.com
Limit three submissions per writer.
