Deadline: August 15, 2025
OR when they have received 250 submissions
DO NOT SEND - THEY HAVE REACHED THEIR LIMIT
Please email a blind copy of your original, unpublished one act play (PDF or Word format) to ... with the subject line “OA 2026 Submission”. As plays are blind, please have your contact info in the body of the email.
Plays should be unpublished and roughly 8-10 minutes in length. Longer plays (no more than 15 minutes) will be considered, and micro-plays (30 seconds to 5 minutes) are also welcome. Plays selected are usually comedic in tone, light and quirky, but plays with deeper themes are also welcome, provided they are not too serious.
Each playwright may submit ONE play. No resubmissions – if you have submitted a play to us in the past, please do not resubmit. The submission window opens June 15th and will close August 15th, or once we have reached our cap of 250 submissions, whichever comes first. No submissions received before June 15th will be considered.
Playwrights of all backgrounds and gender identities are encouraged to submit.
Playwrights will be notified in late September if their play has been chosen. Playwrights will receive a $50 honorarium if their play is selected and included in our production in March of 2026.
We look forward to reading your work!
