Green Mountain New Play Festival Summer 2025 Festival seeks plays of any length

Facebook page

Deadline: June 1, 2025

Plainfield, Vermont


The inaugural Green Mountain New Play Festival is now accepting submissions for its summer 2025 festival, taking place August 8-10, 2025 as part of the brand-new Green Mountain Shakespeare Festival, a division of Plainfield Little Theatre at The CreativeCampus@Goddard in Vermont.

This exciting new venture is dedicated to fostering bold, original voices in contemporary playwriting. Selected playwrights will receive a staged reading with professional directors and actors.

Submissions are open through June 1, 2025, and there is no fee to apply.

The festival seeks unpublished, unproduced plays from emerging and established playwrights. Any length, any characters, any theme - we are looking for a diverse selection of plays and will build the festival according to chosen submissions. No musicals please. One submission per playwright.

Three works will be selected for staged readings during a weekend of new play development and celebration. Selected playwrights will be notified in early July.

Once a progressive hub for radical education and artistic exploration, Goddard College has recently closed its doors as an academic institution. But the spirit of creativity and experimentation lives on. TheCreativeCampus@Goddard is a bold new initiative to reimagine the historic Vermont campus as a thriving, interdisciplinary arts and culture space. The Green Mountain New Play Festival is proud to be part of this next chapter—welcoming artists back to the grounds to make new work, build community, and carry forward Goddard’s legacy in fresh and vital ways.
