The Strand accepts new play submissions year round!
We need new and interesting works to wow Baltimore. We like plays that use magical realism, tell stories about real people, and focus on relevant issues. We love plays by women and want to tell their stories.
The Strand prefers electronic copies. If you are only able to submit a hard copy, please send submission to: Strand Theater Company 1823 North Charles Baltimore, MD 21201
Submission Announcement and Guidelines
The Strand currently seeks script submissions for its 2011-2012 season and this summer’s Friends and Neighbors Festival. The Strand encourages creative and innovative scripts. The Strand encourages submissions by women with roles for women. The Strand will select plays that are relevant, well-written, and experiment with new theater conventions. Requirements: Season Plays: A season play must be full length. The Strand seeks innovative plays that break conventional theater standards. Friends and Neighbors Festival: The Friends and Neighbors Festival is a six week-long festival where a new script is performed at the Strand every weekend for an admission price of $5. The Friends and Neighbors Festival was created to give local artists a chance to perform experimental pieces in front of an audience with the support of a fully functional theater. The FN Fest also creates an opportunity for audiences to affordably (and risk-free) expand their theater horizons. The Strand encourages playwrights, performers, comedians, etc, to submit to the FN Fest. The FN Fest accepts performance pieces that range from traditional plays to performance art to workshops. Everything is encouraged. There are no limitations! If you are not submitting a traditional play, please submit a written statement describing your proposed performance or idea. For ANY questions regarding script submissions, please email Jayme Kilburn: jkilburn@strandtheatercompany.org
