Capital Stage created the Playwrights’ Revolution in 2007 and is excited to be welcoming it back. This series of staged readings seeks to identify and develop exciting new plays and playwrights. These new works are brought to theatrical life through a series of staged readings performed by professional actors in Capital Stage’s intimate theatre. Capital Stage invites audiences to take part in the new play development process by attending readings and participating in post-reading discussion. Qualifications: Plays must be full-length in any genre: comedy, drama, etc. Musicals, translations, collections of one-acts, children’s plays and any play that has received a full-scale, professional production prior to submission are not eligible. Plays that have had a workshop, reading or non-professional production are still eligible. Only one submission per playwright is allowed each year. Preference will be given to those plays that are aligned with Capital Stage’s mission to bring cutting-edge and thought-provoking plays to our community, constantly pursuing an artistic vision that explores the very core of what it means to be human. Selection process: Capital Stage’s competitive selection process consists of two rounds. During the first round, up to 350 play excerpts submitted are reviewed. Then, selected playwrights are asked to provide a full manuscript of their play. Finally, Capital Stage invites 4 to 6 playwrights to have their work included in PLAYWRIGHTS’ REVOLUTION staged readings. How to apply: Complete the online submission form to provide Capital Stage with information about the playwright and the play, and to upload your submission. In order to be accepted, your script sample must be submitted as a single PDF file that meets the following requirements. File name must be “Author Last Name_Title of Play” (ex: Miller_Death of a Salesman) The first page(s) of the file must include: Title of play, character breakdown and descriptions, synopsis of the play The following pages must be a 10-page sample of the play DO NOT include the name of the author on any pages 2025 Deadline: Submissions will be accepted only from January 6 – March 7, 2025.
