Snowdance 2027 seeks 10-minute plays

Website

Deadline: October 9, 2026

Entries may be emailed to snowdance@overourheadplayers.org. 

Email scripts (pdf format) to: snowdance@overourheadplayers.org

*Alternately* Mail Submissions to:

SNOWDANCE
c/o Sixth Street Theatre
318 Sixth Street
Racine, Wisconsin 53403

Any questions can be directed to us by e-mail at: snowdance@overourheadplayers.org. Or call the Box Office at (262) 632-6802.

1) Competition is open to original 10-minute or shorter plays free of royalty and copyright restrictions. Submission is considered to be approval to produce the piece with stated royalty if selected for production in the Snowdance® Festival. Musicals, adaptations, and translations will not be considered.

2) Plays must run 10 minutes or less. A rule of thumb: 1 page (8 1/2 x 11) of single-spaced, average dialogue will total about 90 seconds. Read it out loud - time it - test it - and re-write if need be.

3) Submissions must be emailed or postmarked on or before October 9, 2026.

4) Scripts should follow the standard format (Check any script writing book in your library). If mailing a physical copy, manuscripts must be on standard 8-1/2” x 11” paper, cleanly typed and securely bound.

5) Plays can have a cast of 1 to 4 characters and should be easily staged. Avoid any elaborate set requirements. And remember it is a 'COMEDY FESTIVAL'.

6) The writer's name, address, phone number, and e-mail address should be included on the title page only. The title page should also include a cast list, set requirements, and a 1-3 sentence synopsis of the play.

7) Submit one (1) copy of your script.

* Plays selected for the festival will be produced by Over Our Head Players.
