SUBMIT YOUR PLAY IN PROGRESS TO THE INKWELL!
Now through March 17th
For a period of four weeks every 12 to 18 months, The Inkwell asks playwrights from across the country to submit plays to be considered for sustained, collaborative development processes that can include:
- intensive dramaturgical support;
- opportunities to participate in master classes, webinars, and workshops;
- mentoring and networking opportunities with other playwrights and playmakers;
- intensive rehearsals with actors, directors, and dramaturgs leading to staged readings; and,
- input from designers on how set, costume, sound, and other stage elements serve a play.
We will be choosing between 25 and 30 plays in progress for our unique initial development experience, a FIRST CONTACT showcase reading. We will then select a handful of playwrights for 18-month sustained, developmental collaborations to support these playwrights' artistic and professional growth.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INKWELL WILL ONLY ACCEPT PLAYS THAT MEET THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:
- Plays that are full-length. We will not consider any one-act plays.
- Plays that have not received a full production. A full production includes any public event centering on the script that involved a director, actors, and design elements. The Inkwell considers staged readings and academic productions exceptions to this rule.
- Plays that are submitted through within the submission period of February 22nd through March 17th
- Plays that are formatted as Microsoft Word or PDF files.
REMEMBER, WE ONLY ACCEPT SUBMISSIONS ONLINE THROUGH THE INKWELL'S WEBSITE. We will not accept any submissions sent to us by mail or directly to the submissions email address.
To learn all about the play submission process, and to submit your play, please visit THE INKWELL'S WEBSITE. And if you have questions, email us at submissions@inkwelltheatre.org. We look forward to reading your plays.
