SCREAM SCENES: A Horror Playfest seeks short plays & monologues

Website

Deadline: September 8, 2025

SUBMISSION FORM

brooklynONE productions (bkONE) invites twisted minds, dark dreamers, and fearless storytellers to submit their work for SCREAM SCENES: A Horror Playfest — a blood-curdling celebration of theatre that terrifies, shocks, and haunts long after the curtain falls.

Performances October 23 - 26

This festival is dedicated to stories that crawl under the skin, set hearts racing, and make audiences squirm in their seats. Whether it’s supernatural terror, psychological suspense, or gruesome acts of human horror, we want the nightmares only you can create.

What We’re Looking For:
  • One-act horror plays (10–15 minutes in length)
  • Monologues & written word pieces (poetry, prose, or performance text) that chill to the bone
  • Stories that push boundaries, revel in the macabre, and keep audiences on the edge of their seats
  • Minimal technical requirements (must be producible in an intimate theatre setting — we supply the shadows, you bring the fear)
Why Submit?

Selected works will be produced and staged at bkONE’s home, The Tom Kane Theatre, inside the eerie corridors of Industry City, Brooklyn.

Writers will collaborate with our creative team to bring their darkest visions to life.

Your work will be part of a festival that turns the stage into a haunted playground of nightmares.
