Seeking Play Submissions for Fall Play Reading and Discussion Series

The Actors Theatre Workshop is accepting submissions of original plays for our Fall Play Reading and Discussion Series. We are looking for new, contemporary works that examine the issues that people in America struggle with today. Theatre will always be at the forefront of change, and we are interested in how individuals and families are grappling with the range of challenges they are facing. ATW’s award-winning Artistic Director and Founder, Thurman E. Scott, whose mentor Stella Adler called “The inheritor of the Stanislavski legacy and of my legacy…” will direct an ensemble of actors, and we will invite the public to join in and witness the many complex and fascinating steps that go into developing a play as the director works with the ensemble in bringing the selected plays to life. If you are a writer / playwright looking for an opportunity to submit your creation that examines a pressing social issue of our time, please submit your play along with a 1-2 paragraph description of how your play explores these issues, to outreach@actorstheatreworkshop.org no later than Friday, September 8th 2023. We will present two staged readings of the selected plays in November 2023.
