ATTN: Seven Devils Playwrights Conference

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. Those invited to the Conference, are provided with transportation, housing, access to a car and a modest stipend.

Each playwright is 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.

Four plays are presented as a fully staged reading with minimal props, sets & lights.

Two plays are presented as sit-down readings in our Playwrights Intensive Program.

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 as fully staged readings with a focus on the continuing growth of the play, and the playwright.

PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to return scripts to you. It is our policy to recycle them.

New policies at the US Post Office make the return of scripts time consuming for our small staff (we must take them to the Post Office & stand in line). Our policy is to NOT return scripts. Please also know that your response time could be delayed if you do not also include the #10 business-sized envelope.
