State of Play Theatre is now accepting scripts for the Winter ’09 Playground series! We are seeking innovative, incendiary works to develop to their fullest potential. We aim to expose both established and emerging playwrights to a broad audience and to bring exciting, quality newwork to the stage. Once a script is chosen, the playwright is assigned a “Play Group”: a producer and a team of director, dramaturg and actors. After a specified workshop rehearsal process, each selected work will be produced as a public staged reading. The event will be followed by a post-show moderated discussion, bringing the audience into the process. Scripts selected for development in a workshop may be considered for future full production. In a commitment to remove any unintended gender/racial/cultural bias from the initial script evaluation process, State of Play Theatre has adopted a Blind Submission policy for open submissions. We request that author name and biographical information be removed from the script file (including title page) so as to allow our staff to evaluate the text on its literary qualities and potential for production only. (DO remember to include your contact information in the body of the email and read the submission guidelines for proper formatting; a designated company member will keep your information on file for future reference.) Please go to http://www.stateofplaytheatre.com/ for complete submission details and F.A.Q.
