Submissions!

Yes! Subversive Theatre IS currently accepting unsolicited scripts for consideration for forth-coming staged readings and full productions.

Of course, to be eligible, plays must be in keeping with Subversive Theatre's overall mission to produce plays of a political nature that serve to raise consciousness -- and hopefully encourage action -- on socially relevant issues. Plays that address these issues in a particularly inventive and unconventional manner -- in terms of content and/or presentational style -- are especially welcome.

Plays can be submitted in one of the two following categories.

SHORT WORKS:

Short plays -- less than 30 pages in length and less than 30 minutes in running time -- can be submitted to our sUBVERsIVE sHORTs Program.
Works selected for this program will be performed in our annual sUBVERsIVE sHORTs Showcase which is held in the late Spring/early Summer of our Theatre's yearly season of plays. This Showcase is a cabaret-style presentation of multiple vignettes performed in repertory.

FULL-LENGTH PLAYS:

     Due to Subversive Theatre's limited resources, we are very rarely able to undertake full productions of previously unproduced works . . . but we will of course make exceptions for particularly strong material.
     Stage readings of new "subversive" works are also possible.
     To find out how to submit a full-length play to Subversive Theatre, contact our Overall Dramaturg Susan Forbes at submissions@subversivetheatre.org.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN OUR THEATRE!
