*Plays that have not been produced (or would benefit from a staged reading for future development)

How to apply:

*Submit google form and attach a copy of your script. We do not want the application to be an additional burden to an artist, so feel free to write as little or as much as you would like.

*Submit application by December 1st, 2024.

*Applicants will be notified by January 2025.
