The artistic team at Playhouse Creatures agrees that we all need a laugh!! So send us your comedies--well, your BLACK comedies. Submit a full-length, darkly humorous script. We encourage you to mine the rabid riches of the human psyche for comedic gems and explore the cavernous realms of the absurd! We seek original comedies with an off-color tone, an uncanny twist, an unexpected shocker, or a compelling weirdness.
Whatever that may be, we encourage your submissions of debauched, debased or degenerate black comedic scripts to the 4th Annual Dr. R. J. Rodriguez Emerging Playwrights Contest. Submit to: PCTC2021Submissions@gmail.com by September 6th 2021
