The Umbrella Stage Company Invites New Work From Local Playwrights
The Umbrella Stage Company seeks submissions of new work by local playwrights written specifically for a digital platform. Submissions should be 30-40 minutes in length and should leverage technical opportunities unique to a virtual performance environment to create a fully realized, digital audience experience.
Plays should feature fewer than 6 actors and may be of any genre of the playwright's choosing. Playwrights will be asked to participate in talk-back conversations with audiences following each performance.
Plays written by or amplifying BIPOC artists are of particular interest.
Chosen submissions will receive a $150 fee.
Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis with review beginning August 15th. Four plays will be chosen for presentation through the fall.
To Submit: Plays may be sent via email to brian@theumbrellaarts.org as a PDF, accompanied with a one paragraph summary and artist statement. Please provide detailed contact information with submission.
