2026 Play Reading Series at The Actors Theatre Workshop

Website

Deadline: April 30, 2026

SUBMISSION FORM

After filling out this form, please be sure to email your script and a synopsis of your play to outreach@actorstheatreworkshop.com

We’re offering playwrights the opportunity to host their own play readings in our professional theater space. This is your chance to test your work with a live audience and gain invaluable feedback.

The Actors Theatre Workshop in NYC is accepting submissions of original plays for our curated Spring 2026 Play Reading and Discussion Series this April – June. 

The theme is Finding Hope Through Darkness. 

We are looking for contemporary works that examine the pressing issues individuals and families face in America today. This series will highlight works that challenge and inspire audiences.

The Actors Theatre Workshop will co-produce selected plays. We will offer the playwright our physical theater space to host their own play reading with a live, publicly invited audience. Playwrights will be responsible for providing the non-Equity cast, crew, and production. ATW, along with the playwright, will support marketing efforts to bring in the audience.

Submissions are open until April 30th. Decisions will be made as soon as possible, but no later than mid-May.
