Script submissions for the nationwide 2025 SheNYC Theater Festivals are now open! Submit your full-length play or musical by November 11, 2024.
All four of our festivals are accepting submissions through the same application. On the application, you can select which cities you’d like to be considered for. The Festivals are:
SheNYC: Running in New York City in July/August 2025
The exact dates are subject to change pending our venues’ availability - we will update all applicants with the exact dates of each festival as soon as we can.
What kinds of scripts we accept:
Plays and musicals
Full-lengths only (running time greater than 1 hour. Note that there will be a 2-hour run time limit on all shows in the Festival. If your show runs longer than 2 hours you can absolutely still submit it; you’ll just have to make appropriate cuts to fit into your 2-hour run time slot before the Festival).
The writing team must be at least 50% marginalized genders (cis women, trans men and women, and non-binary people)
The writer must be based in the United States
Solo shows (if you submit a solo show, you must also include a video of the show with the performer who will be performing it. The video can be anything you have - just a clip of a scene, or a video of the full show.)
What kinds of shows we do not accept:
Short plays or short musicals (less than one hour)
Pieces that are adapted from works that are not public domain, or that include materials you didn’t write
DURATION
May 1, 2025 - Sep 15, 2025
