Manhattan-based theatre workshop affiliated with an Equity production company seeks scripts for staged readings and possible development.

All submissions must meet the following criteria:

-Completed, full-length original stage play (no screenplays).
-English language.
-Appeals to a wide audience.
-Deals with mainstream issues and themes relevant to current society and culture.

To submit your work, please send the following in MS Word or .PDF format via e-mail:

-One-page summary.
-A paragraph describing your experience with or research on the subject matter (e.g., if your script is set in a restaurant, briefly relate how many years you've worked in the restaurant industry, in what positions, how the restaurant you worked at was similar to the one in your script, et cetera).
-Complete script.
-If a musical, three songs in .MP3 format along with lyric sheets.
