Catchy Name Theatre Lab Call for Submissions

web site

The Catchy Name Theatre Lab, the development arm of Catchy Name Theatre Company, is seeking new plays for potential development at Catchy Name Theatre.

There are no submission fees. The Catchy Name Theatre Lab is non-exclusive and does not retain ownership of any play created for it, beyond the initial staged reading.

Participating writers should ideally be local (San Francisco and the greater Bay Area, to enable the playwright to be present during the development process), however submissions will be accepted nationwide.

Playwright(s) selected will be expected to attend rehearsals for the reading in addition to attending the reading itself. Playwright(s) will be expected to help promote the reading.

Writers are encouraged to submit as many scripts as they want. There is no limitation as to topic/theme. Deadline for submission is no later than midnight (Pacific Time) Tuesday, October 15, 2013.

Selected playwright(s) will be notified no later than November 1, 2013. The public reading will take place in November 2013, at a theatre space in San Francisco to be announced. This is an opportunity for new and emerging playwrights to hear their work and get feedback from Catchy Name Theatre Company and the public.

Plays of exceptional potential will be considered for further development and future full production by Catchy Name Theatre Company.

WHAT: New Script Submissions for public reading; NO SUBMISSION FEE

DETAILS: Any length, from short 10-minute plays to full-length plays will be accepted. No submission fees. CNTL may opt to select multiple entries for reading, or a single full-length play. All scripts not selected will be considered for future development in our Reading Series. Open to all playwrights nationwide and writing primarily in English. Selected playwright(s) will be notified by email by November 1, 2013.

WHEN: Deadline of OCTOBER 15, 2013 

HOW: Files must be properly formatted (Dramatist’s Guild guidelines) and emailed in PDF format to: submission@catchynametheatre.org
No hard copies will be accepted.
