TERESA'S HELPFUL HINTS FOR PLAY SUBMISSIONS
Type your title and name on the top sheet and do not have your name on the body of the play.
If you include a synopsis, keep it on a separate sheet from the play.
Include a list of characters and, if necessary, explain how 8 actors could perform the show.
Send a loose leaf copy held together by a single binder clip. Single or double sided is your choice, but don't waste time or effort to bind the play any other way as we will take that binding apart when we receive it anyway.
If you are sending your script from an overseas country, please send me an email at writecomedy@mountainplayhouse.org for special instructions.
Don't forget to download, sign and include the agreement with your play.
