Description
Touchstone Theatre is on the lookout for plays (scripted or devised) by established playwrights/devisors from Canada/Turtle Island for consideration in future seasons.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
As a playwright(s) you have previously produced and/or published at least two works.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Please send a synopsis of your play, one page maximum, including a brief list of characters (if it has characters) and core collaborators (if any). In addition to basics of story (if there is one) and themes, let us know whatever you feel is most important to communicate about the play. Feel free to include information about its style, its relationship to your body of work, and/or the work of other theatre-makers, and/or its development or production history. You likely won’t be able to cover all of this, so choose what feels most important to you.
- please attach a bio or resume
- please send to submissions@touchstonetheatre.com by November 1, 2024
SUBMISSION PROCESS
Short-listed writers will be invited by the curatorial team to follow-up by submitting full scripts (or devised documentation). Touchstone is committed to new plays that reveal, amplify, and explore diverse experiences and stories that are challenging, hysterical, reflective, provocative, transcendent, fantastical, traditional, or “never before articulated in this way”. We welcome playwrights who explore new content using pre-existing theatrical forms, as well as playwrights who reference story-telling structures outside of the western theatrical canon. We also welcome playwrights who create new theatrical forms.
