We're ALWAYS
looking for new plays. Plays can be any length. We prefer new material
or pieces that do not require royalties, but we are also considering
published plays that have not been produced recently in the LA area.
If the author wishes feedback from the Reading Committee, he or she
should request this in writing at the time of submission; consideration
sometimes takes several months. You may submit plays with one attachment
(plays will considered with one actor "attached" to a specific
role or with a director already part of the project). If the playwright
is available, this attachment must meet with the writer's approval.
The play will then be read with the attached actor or director included
as part of the consideration process.
Plays may be submitted for consideration by company members but we
are looking for work from ANY source. We are currently looking for
more short (10 min.) plays as well as longer one-acts (40 min. to
an hour) and full length plays. Because we are an acting company,
we tend to put an emphasis on productions that will utilize as many
people as possible. Full length plays with larger casts, therefore,
probably fit our needs better than a two or three character full-length.
Plays are initially read by our play reading committee. If the committee
is interested in the material it will be given a formal staged reading
by company members in front of the entire company. The company members
who attend the readings then "rate" the work on a numeric
(1-10) scale to give an overall idea of the company's interest. If
a play has scored sufficiently high enough by the company, it will
be considered for production.
Actors in the company are encouraged to find work they think is appropriate
for the company and submit it themselves. An actor may be considered
"attached" to a project but ONLY if that is worked out in
advance with the playwright before submitting the play.
