Please email details to Edd - edd@edwardcrosbywells.com - particularly the closing-date, any casting restrictions and your willingness (or otherwise) to accept email submissions (100-ish words max)
To save trees and money, email submission is the preferred option
This service is free to theatres and non-profit theatre organisations, but please note we won't promote productions that don't pay authors standard Royalties (about 10% gross box-office)
Or Contests that charge submission/reading fees
Authors should also note that the inclusion of an Announcement implies neither our approval nor our endorsement
__________________________________________________
VERY IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU SUBMIT YOUR SCRIPTS TO ANY THEATRE GO TO THEIR WEBSITE (IF IT IS NOT LISTED HERE, GOOGLE IT). LOOK TO SEE IF THEY HAVE A MISSION STATEMENT. SEE WHAT PLAYS THEY'VE DONE IN PREVIOUS SEASONS. MAKE CERTAIN THEY ACCEPT SCRIPTS DIRECTLY FROM AUTHOR'S. THOUGH MOST LISTED HERE DO, SOME MAY HAVE CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND ARE NOW ONLY ACCEPTING SCRIPTS THROUGH AGENTS ONLY.
ALSO: WHETHER SENDING BY SNAIL MAIL OR EMAIL, HAVE A WELL-THOUGHT COVER LETTER. LET THEM KNOW YOU'VE DONE YOUR RESEARCH AND GIVE THEM A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT TO READ. AND NEVER SEND MORE THAN A ONE-PAGE COVER LETTER.

"THE ARMENIAN DRAMATIC ARTS ALLIANCE LAUNCHES $10,000 SCREENWRITING & PLAYWRITING AWARD"
Deadline: May 15, 2007
The Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance (ADAA) is thrilled to announce the inauguration of its annual contest for a play or screenplay based on Armenian themes: The deadline for submission for The Frances Paul Lyons/ Almas Paul Annual Screenwriting & Playwriting Award. is May 15, 2007, and the winning writer will be honored with a $10,000 award in the Fall of 2007.

The contest rules have just been posted online at http://www.armeniandrama.org/contest.php. Scripts must have an Armenian theme, but writers are not required to be of Armenian descent.
The Paul Family generously established The Frances Paul Lyons/Almas Paul Annual Screenwriting & Playwriting Award via their fund at the Western Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church of North America, under the auspices of Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, ensuring the continuance of this award for years to come. Actress and ADAA Board Member Karen Kondazian, a member of the Paul Family, was honored to facilitate the creation of this award, particularly to recognize her dear father and mother, Varnum Paul and Lillian M.Paul. The ADAA appreciates the generosity of such donors and welcomes the benevolence of future donors.
The Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance's mission is to make the Armenian voice heard on the world stage through the dramatic arts of theatre and film. The organization accomplishes this mission by supporting playwrights and screenwriters and provides production opportunities, commissions, scholarships, research tools, networking resources and writing awards.
The Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance is currently working on creating relationships with leading theaters in the United States to establish reading series so that the winning scripts - and other scripts by ADAA-affiliated playwrights -- will be seen and heard. ADAA's headquarters are in Cambridge, MA with worldwide affiliates in Paris, Yerevan, Los Angeles, Boston, New York and other major cities.
