Something New

Have you been working on a play, but aren’t sure how to get it produced?

Is this moment the first time you’ve ever considered writing a play but now it feels like all you want to do?

Do you fall somewhere in the middle of the two options we just presented?

We want to see YOUR One-Acts!

But how does it work?

  • The play must be between fifteen and twenty-five pages long

  • The roles must be playable by no more than three actors.

    You may write as many characters as you wish, but they need to be playable by a cast of three.

  • Due to the nature of this project, open casting options are preferable.

    We encourage our submitters not to shy away from personal topics of identity or lived experience, while keeping in mind that casting flexibility will be an invaluable component of this production. 


  • Please use the following guidlines:

    • Font

      • Georgia

      • Size 12

      • 1.15 line/paragraph spacing

    • Scenes numbers/names are denoted at the top of the page, in BOLD, underlined, and centered on the page.

    • A single space between lines of dialogue or stage directions. 

    • Stage Directions

      • Stage directions not within lines to be italicized. 

      • {Stage directions within lines to be italicized and in parentheses.}

Calling all DIRECTORS, STAGE MANAGERS, and DESIGNERS!

Each show will have its own Director and Stage Manager, and the entire production will have Designers that oversee all three shows.

These shows are an excellent, more bite sized way to be involved with a production - and we encourage everyone of all different experience levels to apply!
