SUBMISSION FORM
Deadline: January 16, 2024
• Easy to produce. (If you have a play which for instance includes a swimming pool, a large amount of sets and props, or anything else too elaborate or is impossible to cast we may reject it.)
• Please submit plays in PDF or Word format only.
• We will divide selected plays into more programs, and selected Playwrights will be informed on a rolling basis.
· We can only have a 2x 20 minute plays per program so 7, 10, 15 minute plays have a higher chance of being chosen
· You may apply as many times as you like but if we choose multiple plays then they are likely to be on different nights and we ask that each play has a unique cast [ie: if you have three plays they cannot have all the same cast members although one might be ok]
