Deadline: October 15, 2025
Or until they have received 150 submissions
Submissions for some scripts issue 6: nostalgia are open now until 10/15/25 or until 150 submissions, whichever comes first. As always, submissions are free for everyone!
"nostalgia" means a lot... literally. I want to read scripts about aestheticizing Y2K, of cringe millennial culture, of looking back through time, of characters having a moment of self-reflection to see how far (or not) they've come. Give me your nerdiest shit, your grief, your weirdness. Stuff that can never be staged and stuff that has been staged. Plays about memes and emojis and the internet of old. Discord and radio and Zoom plays welcome. I want to see all facets of nostalgia at play and creativity in terms of technology use.
Accepted pieces will be published in an ebook and POD (print-on-demand) physical book. All accepted contributors will receive a token $10 payment; unfortunately, some scripts does not have the funds to pay more even though your work absolutely deserves it. <3
GUIDELINES:
Scripts can be no longer than 45 pages (one-act).
Essays and theatre reviews can be no longer than 1500 words.
Absolutely nothing racist, sexist, homo/transphobic, fascist, imperialist, anti-vax, etc. Get that shit out of here. You can, however, engage with these as themes in your work; if you glorify them, your submission will be rejected on sight.
Any genre is fair game. Sci-fi, fantasy, dystopian, utopian, realism, etc.
