When submitting a play, we ask you to follow these guidelines:
ˇ Plays that has been produced and plays that have received a staged reading must be accompanied by proof of production (e.g., programs, reviews)
ˇ Plays may be of any length and may be on any subject. However, preference will go to work that supports peace and social justice, and sheds light on religious, spiritual, and cultural differences and issues.

ˇ Two cover pages one with title, your name, address & phone number; the other with title only.
