SUBMISSION FORM

Ferrell Studios announces its 4th Annual One Act Play Festival, "Our Time" at the mignolo Arts Center. We are looking for playwrights to submit their one-act plays to be produced in our intimate 40-seat black box space for this event. 

We invite playwrights to submit original one-act plays that explore themes of identity and community, and that speak meaningful dialogue. Submitted plays may follow any genre and be no longer than 30 minutes and should be achievable given our space and technical abilities.

Tech Dates: December 10-12, 2025 (6pm-10pm)

Performance Date: Saturday, December 13, 2025 (2pm and 8pm)

Rehearsal Schedule: There will be a brief workshop rehearsal process for each play. Rehearsals will take place at the mignolo Arts Center and via Zoom (when possible). There will also be one tech rehearsal prior to the event.

Location: mignolo Arts Center (272 Lake Ave Metuchen, NJ)

Open to all -  residents of New Jersey preferred.
