Script Submissions and Play Development
New and previously produced scripts submitted by or on behalf of professional playwrights by literary agencies, dramaturgs and literary managers, directors and artistic directors of professional theatre companies are welcome. For muscials please include CDs.
Unfortunately, we are not able to respond in a timely manner to any unsolicited manuscripts. You are welcome to submit a hard copy of your play with the knowledge that we will contact only those writers whose script we have an interest in. And only those plays that include a S.A.S.E will be returned.
Senior artistic staff see as many professional play readings and
productions of Canadian work in the Lower Mainland as possible. If you
have a professional reading or production of your work in the area, please
contact
The Arts Club Theatre Company programs new Canadian work on our stages on
a regular basis. To gain more insight into the kind of new work we are
developing please feel welcome to attend our public readings during our
annual ReACT: new plays in progress event. Please see our ReACT page under
On Stage for more details.
The Arts Club Theatre Company only develops plays that are under
consideration for production with us. If you are a playwright looking for
development support or dramaturgy please explore the links below to find
an appropriate organization.
