Deadline: August 31, 2026
We are looking for original short plays (or other theatrical pieces) that are 10 minutes or less.
This production is on Halloween, and we encourage any submissions that may resonate thematically, whether they directly relate to Halloween or not.
While we will consider anything and everything, we especially want to see submissions that are comedic or spooky, as this fits best with the tone of the evening!
Have something that isn’t quite a play, but you think fits? Send us a video link!
Because we are small and have limited tech, easy-to-produce pieces are more likely to be selected. We also recommend submitting plays with a smaller cast size.
You may submit up to three plays, but please note we will only accept one play from each playwright for the event, and we may only be able read one script in your submission.
Scripts that have not been been accepted in previous years will only be reconsidered if they have undergone revisions. Please note this in your submission!
About the event:
The event will take place the evening of October 31st, in New York City. Exact time and location TBA.
Playwrights are encouraged to submit from anywhere, and local playwrights may be as involved in the process as they would like!
We work to match plays that need them with directors and actors, and help to coordinate rehearsal space.
This is an unpaid event, as we are not profiting from it.
To submit, please send your script and/or any supporting materials by August 31st via the form on the submission page!
