Deadline: September 15, 2024
SUBMISSION FORM
Nomad Theatre seeks 2-4 new, unproduced one-acts to be a part of our upcoming show, By the Fireside in February 2025 in Normal, IL.
Nomad's mission is to provide an immersive theatre experience by exposing audience members to eclectic and moving stories, taking theatre outside of a traditional theatre space and into site-specific locations.
What happens inside a cozy cabin by the fire in February? Step inside the Davis Lodge on the shores of Lake Bloomington for one-act plays that take place in this warm and inviting cabin. Within the rustic walls of a secluded retreat, characters grapple with their pasts, secrets and unexpected encounters. The cabin transforms into a character itself, whispering stories of love, loss and redemption.
Selected plays must take place at in a cabin with a fireplace. We encourage you to use the space creatively. They must be unpublished and unproduced at the time of submission.
A picture of the space has been included for your reference.
This call is open to all playwrights in the United States. Selected playwrights receive a $40 honorarium, full production of their show and a ticket to attend. We encourage anyone to submit, even if you’ve never written a play. We want to support underrepresented playwrights, including women, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, disabled, neurodiverse, etc, and encourage you to submit.
Entries will be judged on the following criteria:
How well it meets the theme of 'By the Fireside'
Overall writing quality (Plot - we like different or quirky, weird, out-of-the-box theatre; Character Development; Dialogue)
Suitability for our actors and space - low tech, 1-4 characters, flexible casting
Submissions will open on May 5th and close on September 15th, 2024. Selected playwrights will receive notification by January 8, 2025. If you have not received notification from us by that date, we did not choose you for the production.
