ATTENTION PLEASE... CALLING ALL PLAYWRIGHTS ************************************************** Are you a new playwright, and want to have your play produced? We have produced several on our stage at no cost to the playwright. Submit your original play to us for consideration. There is no charge for submission! If your play is selected, there will be no charge for producing it! We will be selecting original plays, skits, even simple musicals to be performed on our stage. There is no deadline for submission, but the sooner you submit, the better chance you have for us to produce it. If you wish to direct it, or perform in it also, provisions may be made for that. Family-oriented comedies will have the best chance of being selected. Fill out the form below and email it to us. There is no cost of submission. No royalties will be paid for the first night’s performance of the play, skit, or musical. However, additional performances may elicit royalties to be paid to you.
