Description
Harold Green Jewish Theatre's Mandate
Deadline: on-going
At the Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company we embrace and celebrate the Jewish story – stories about our history, stories about our beliefs, stories about our struggles and triumphs.
These stories have been 5,000 years in the making; they have universal application. These stories have to be told and need to be seen.
It is our responsibility and privilege to share them with the world.
Harold Green Jewish Theatre's Script Submission Policy
Who can send us a script?
- Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company only accepts submissions for plays that speak to our mandate.
- We only respond to full-length plays sent by writers we are familiar with or whose work comes recommended by another theatre, a play development centre or a professional theatre artist such as a director or dramaturg. We also accept work sent by agents.
- If you are a playwright who does not meet the above criteria, you can send us the first 15 pages of your script, along with a synopsis, and a letter outlining the development history of the play. We will be in touch with you only if we want to request the full script.
What we produce:
- HTJTC will have a subscription season of 3-5 full-length plays, for adult audiences. Our mandate is to illuminate humanity through a Jewish perspective, celebrating and preserving Jewish culture by inviting artists and audiences to participate in live theatre, the meeting place of all the arts.
What to include:
- Please include the following:
- Your script
- Information about the development or production history of your play
- A cast breakdown
- Your full mailing address, phone number and e-mail.
- Please do not e-mail scripts.
- If you include a self-addressed stamped envelope, we will return your script. Otherwise, they will be recycled.
How we respond:
- We will send you a brief e-mail indicating that we have received your submission.
- Once we have read your script, we will let you know via e-mail or letter if we are interested in developing or producing it.
- We do not provide dramaturgical feedback.
- Response time is slow due to the high volume of submissions and the fact that the Artistic Directors are the only staff members who review submissions. Therefore, it can take up to 6 months to hear from us. We ask for your patience in receiving a response from us.
