The Playwrights' Noticeboard
Production and Publishing Opportunities
Additions to the Noticeboard offering production and publishing opportunities to playwrights are very welcome
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.

INNER VOICES Social Issues Theatre
Deadline: 3/1/07
(Posted 12/30/06)
INNER VOICES Social Issues Theatre at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign is now accepting submissions for its Spring 2007 call for scripts. The purpose of the INNER VOICES Social Issues Theatre is to produce theatre works, which focus attention on issues and concerns relevant to students on this campus, and more generally in society as well.
INNER VOICES Social Issues Theatre has taken on many topics difficult to present and discuss, and this requires a willingness to be open-minded and curious about social and health issues on the part of all who participate in the project including writers, performers, tech crew and audience alike. Facilitated discussions with the audience follow each performance. Connections to the history(ies) and generation of such issues, and ways for making positive changes are often the focus of discussion in relation to a presented topic.
Examples of issues that might be addressed are Racism, LBGT Issues, Domestic Violence, Sexism, Body Image Issues, and Ableism.
An honorarium will be given to those playwrights whose scripts are selected.
We are looking for scripts in two categories:
A. 10 minute play (up to three selected) $250.00 per selected script
B. 40 minute play (one selected) $700.00
Call for Scripts Timelines
Call for Scripts closes: 3/1/07
