Paperback Presents II: Original Script Submissions

Website

Deadline: October 25, 11:59 PM

SUBMISSION FORM

Paperback Productions is accepting script submissions for a November production, presented as staged readings at one or more partner venues in Denton, TX. Potential performance locations include Harvest House and Toasty Bros, with the possibility of a third venue. One selected script will be produced by the company, and the selected playwright will participate in our profit-sharing structure.

Selected playwrights will join the first rehearsal to introduce and discuss their work with the cast and creative team. Requests for changes to dialogue or other script elements will be made in consultation with the playwright whenever possible. Scripts may undergo collaborative edits or adjustments to accommodate production needs, casting considerations, or runtime goals.

Paperback Productions specializes in intimate staged readings with condensed rehearsal timelines and flexible casting practices. We especially encourage original adaptations of public domain literature and inventive reimaginings of familiar stories, though all original work is welcome. Scripts should run 60-100 minutes with casts of eight or fewer.

Selected Playwright Announced: October 28, 6:30 PM
