Please read all instructions & notes before submitting your play

Deadline for Submission

The upcoming deadline for submission is November 15, 2011 - Midnight Pacific Standard Time .

Submit all materials:

Via a single e-mail to: submissions@idtheater.org

Please note that plays submitted via email will receive all correspondence digitally. Be sure that your email will accept an email from submissions@idtheater.org , and if your email address changes, please let us know.

What we need from you:

• A single e-mail - with the subject as your last name and play title
• A copy of the play that you are submitting including a cast breakdown. We prefer a PDF, but will also accept MSWord. Please name the document in the format of LastNameTitle
• A biography or resume with your full name, address, phone number and e-mail address. Please name the document in the format of LastNameFirstName

At the same time as you submit your materials:

• A payment of $5 via the paypal link below - your submission can not be processed until this is received. (Please note: this fee is paid entirely to the reader for your play, we do not use reading fees to subsidize the conference. We get a lot of plays, and our readers read them all cover-to-cover).
  

What are we looking for?

We are open to full-length plays of any genre or style. Really. That being said, we are particularly inclined toward plays that embrace, explore and challenge the diverse geographical, philosophical, cultural, aesthetic and political landscape of the American experience - rural and urban, east and west, coastal and inland.

What can I expect if I'm invited?

Final decisions will be made by mid-April. The Conference takes place in June (usually the middle two weeks) in McCall, Idaho.

Four playwrights will be invited to participate in our series of Staged Readings. Between two and four playwrights will be invited to participate in the Playwrights Intensive Program of Sit Down Readings.

Plays in the Staged Reading Program are presented as a fully staged reading with minimal props, sets & lights. The playwrights are provided with transportation, housing, access to a car and a modest stipend.

The Playwrights Intensive Program presents sit-down readings and is not currently able to provide a stipend or travel costs, but can provide housing and access to a car during the Conference.

All playwrights are assigned a director, dramaturg and cast of actors. During the rehearsal process playwrights are welcome to re-write the play as much or as little as they like.

Please note: Invited playwrights are expected to be in residence for the entire two weeks of the Conference.

Please remember this is a DEVELOPMENT event. The Conference does not "produce" the plays that are the selected. Plays are presented with a focus on the continuing growth of the play, and the playwright.
