script submission

 

Script Submission Procedure:

Thank you for your interest in our script submission guidelines. Please be advised that we are in a transition phase regarding our artistic leadership. You may still submit a synopsis and dialog sample as per the guidelines below, however, we suggest that you check the website again later in the season to see if any changes have been made to the submission procedure.

Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park accepts submissions for full-length plays, musicals and adaptations in any genre. The materials requested for both new and previously-produced works are the same. Playwrights should submit their work through established literary agents. Agents may submit complete manuscripts.

If you do not have agent representation, send a letter of inquiry, playwright bio or resume, character breakdown, brief synopsis and ten consecutive pages of sample dialogue. Please include your play’s production history, if any. Musicals should be accompanied by a tape or CD of selections from the score. Do not send sheet music or DVDs.

We will review your submission and let you know if we are interested in reading the entire script. Please include a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you wish to have your materials returned. Unsolicited scripts will not be read. We do not accept electronically submitted materials.

Please mail your submission to:
