Submission opportunities for women in theatre.

**Opportunities starred are for women only.


SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY

The Colonial Players is a not-for-profit community theater in Annapolis, Maryland.  For 68 years, The Players have been providing local audiences with outstanding theatrical entertainment in our 180 seat theater in the round in downtown historic Annapolis, and providing opportunities and facilities for interested playmakers to join in all aspects of the artistic endeavor.  
 
We are seeking full-length play scripts for a theater workshop opportunity.  Scripts should have an estimated play time of at least 85 minutes.  While it may be only one act long, it should not be a “1-Act”, i.e. a “short” play, but rather a script that can stand alone as an evening’s entertainment. 
 
The Colonial Players will host the winning playwright for readings, design discussions, creative conversations and audience feedback on the script. The winner will receive a prize of $1,000 and a script workshop weekend in summer 2017. The workshop will culminate in a rehearsed public reading of the script at our theater in Annapolis, Maryland.

Submit online at Submittable.com between October 1, 2016, and Dec 31, 2016 https://thecolonialplayers.submittable.com/submit

 
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Promising Playwright Contest Chair Darice Clewell at promisingplaywright@thecolonialplayers.org

The application deadline has been extended to January 6th for #StageOpps subscribers. Don't forget to email specialoppscode@gmail.com to get the special code for this month's Special Opportunity!
