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.

They have awarded us a grant allowing us to directly fund more artists and help them educate anyone about Web Monetization as an emerging and potential revenue stream. One that doesn't rely on advertising, pay walls, and bad data privacy practices. It's an innovative way forward to help build a healthier internet. Web Monetization is a new and open technology that aims to provide a better way to access and financially reward creators through streaming micropayments - aka tiny fractions of a penny - to instantly flow to artists and creators as people read, watch and listen to their work. While we want to support artists now with immediate financial assistance, we also want to help support the future financial opportunities for all artists. So this is why we’ve built a learning component into our grant application process. We will also be releasing a series of Web Monetization tutorials that will dive deeper into how you can make it part of your online world. o Deadline: Ongoing o Eligibility: Be 18+ Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident in the United States, District of Columbia, or U.S. Territories (e.g. citizen, green card holder, and/or permanent resident who can provide a W9 and SSN or ITIN).

BETC's 2022 Generations Residency Competition Generations, features work by parent playwrights with children under 18.

This year, we offer a $1,000 prize and a $500 childcare stipend to address family needs during the residency period. Each season, BETC selects one playwright through a national competition to join us in Boulder for a one-week residency.

The week concludes with a public reading and post-reading conversation.
