SUBMISSION FORM
The Philadelphia Women’s Theatre Festival is now seeking playwright submissions for our 10th Annual Festival! This milestone year is a celebration of where we’ve been, where we are going, and the multiplicity of stories, voices, and experiences that make up womanhood.
PWTF fosters and encourages women in the performing arts by offering unique opportunities for exposure, professional, artistic and personal development and a platform for performance. PWTF is a women's theatre festival committed to diversity, equity and inclusion by embracing all people and viewpoints. We embrace intersectionality and serve people of all colors and backgrounds, inclusive of our BIPOC, non-binary, and trans community members.
In years past, we’ve focused on specific themes, from motherhood to hometown heroes and- mental health. This year, as we enter our second decade of existence, we aim to simply CELEBRATE.
This year we are seeking submissions in two categories:
1) Full length plays
2) Monologues or shorter one person shows
These will be presented as staged readings during our August 2024 Festival. “Staged reading” means minimal (if any) blocking and no tech. While finished pieces are preferred, we will accept a sample of a work in progress.
If you are submitting a monologue or one person show, please be sure to indicate in the application if you will be performing the work yourself, or if actors and a director are needed.
Submissions are due March 11th, 2024.
All selected playwrights receive a stipend.
The festival will take place August 7th-18th, 2024.
