Submit a Play to our Next Season

We are now accepting submissions to our 2022-2023 season! Deadline is midnight Wednesday, March 30.

Would you like to direct at the Acrosstown? Or do you know of a show that fits our mission that you would really like to see? Great, you’re in the right place! Fill in the brief form below, attach your script, and hit submit– it’s that simple!

If you don’t have an electronic version of your play, or if this form is malfunctioning, please give us a call at 352-BE IN ART or send an email to submissions AT acrosstown.org. We’ll figure something out 🙂

Please take the time to research your piece— just because you found it online doesn’t mean it doesn’t have royalties. Please read the fine print at the beginning of your play, and if royalty information is not listed there, at least do a search on dramatists.com and samuelfrench.com.

If you are an out-of-town author, with no ties to our theater, (and no definitive reason for submitting to our theater, specifically), please refrain from submitting; we’re a volunteer-run organization, and as much as we would love to read your work, we simply don’t have the time to read everything that comes in (we wish we did!).

If you are a local playwright, please consider submitting to our Homegrown Local Playwrights’ Showcase. If your show has already been featured in Homegrown, please submit it here!

If you’d like to submit more than one work for consideration, please limit it to three; we want to give every submission the time it deserves.

Thank you– we look forward to reading your submission! Deadline to submit to our 2022-2023 season is midnight Wednesday, March 30.

If this form doesn’t work, please contact us at marketing AT acrosstown DOT org so we can fix the issue; google and javascript don’t always play well together. Thank you so much 🙂
