We prefer casts that are either balanced or favoring females. The more gender neutral roles, the better. We favor plays and musicals with ensemble casts, where more than just a few have a chance to shine. Plays with elaborate set, costume or technical requirements are not appealing because of the limited resources of many of our customers. Pictures, sketches or descriptions of your vision are always helpful. We recommend your submissions have had at least one production or reading, hopefully staged. We feel this fundamental field test is necessary before a play can be considered for publication since plays are created for the purpose of performance. Manuscripts must be computer-printed in dark ink. We do not require specific formatting. However, your efforts to ensure your script is free of misspellings and typos will help the submissions editor. We hope that Pioneer Drama is your first choice as a publisher, and we encourage you to submit to us exclusively. However, we do accept simultaneous submissions with the understanding that you will accept the first contract you’re offered and not use the situation to seek multiple offers from which to choose. If you receive another offer, please notify us immediately so we may rescind your submission. The following information must accompany your submission or query: 100-200 word synopsis. Cast list that indicates the number of female roles, the number of male roles and the number of roles that can be performed by either gender. We do not accept one-person shows. Running time. CD and/or score for musicals. We appreciate the opportunity to hear the music, if possible. Set design(s). Please feel free to provide diagrams and/or pictures. Proof of production or staged reading (i.e., review, program, etc.) A DVD of your performance is ideal, though not required. Age of intended audience.
