The scripts were selected from a pool of over 70 submissions the theatre received from playwrights across the country. The Shelterbelt was treated to a strong group of submissions from both seasoned and budding metro-area playwrights, which are well represented in this year's line-up. Five of the seven selected playwrights are either from, or have strong ties to the Omaha area.
