Firehouse Theatre Project 10th Annual Festival of New American Plays Rules for Submission
• Full length scripts only.
• Plays must not have been previously produced. Readings are acceptable if no admission was charged and actors read from the script.
• Submissions should be made in standard manuscript form and with no fancy binding. This means no discs, no e-mails. Please just use a binder clip to secure the script pages, no folders, no plastic covers, etc. All author information must be on a title page separate from the body of the manuscript and no reference to the author is permitted in the body of the script.
• Scripts must be accompanied by a letter of recommendation from a theater company or individual familiar with your work. Letters of recommendation do not need to be specific to the play submitted; they may be general recommendations of the playwrights work. All letters must be received with the script, not under separate cover. Scripts received without a letter will not be considered.
• Entries must be postmarked no later than June 30, 2011.
• Due to volume of mail, manuscripts cannot be returned.
• Send submissions to: Firehouse Theatre Project
7th Festival of New American Plays 1609 W. Broad St. Richmond, VA 23220
