Play Submissions for the 2027 Season

Each person may submit up to two plays. Please complete this form for each show you would like us to consider. The deadline for submissions is June 30, 2026 at Midnight. Then, the Administrative Commitee will review the submissions and decide which of them to consider. Those chosen for consideration will be read and interviews will be held (in July/August). After the interviews are complete, the Administrative Committee will choose the plays for the season, plus two alternates. After the rights are secured we will make our 2027 season announcement in October.
