Playwrights
We
are dedicated to the development and production of new plays and emerging
playwrights. We receive hundreds of synopses and inquiries each season,
and our staff requests, reads and considers many of those submissions
for production. Each requested script is read by at least two of our
readers, so a waiting period of seven to nine months for a response is
not uncommon.
At this time, we are accepting synopsis submissions only. Please do not send full scripts. The Purple Rose Theatre Company will not accept, discuss or evaluate screenplays!

*A one-page synopsis of the script
