PLAY SUBMISSION POLICY
Dallas Theater Center only accepts full-length scripts from literary agents and theatre professionals with whom we have an existing relationship. Plays and musicals may be sent to literary@dallastheatercenter.org. If you submit a musical, please include demos if you have them but do not feel obligated to create them. We will get in touch with you if we’d like to proceed further so there is no need to inquire.
DFW BASED PLAYWRIGHTS
Dallas Theater Center has an open submission policy for all DFW-based playwrights. Please submit the following to literary@dallastheatercenter.org: a full-length script (60 pages or more), and a professional resume. We will get in touch with you if we’d like to proceed further so there is no need to inquire.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
Currently, we are only reading for production. We do not have workshops, readings, commissions, or further development opportunities to offer at this time. DTC encourages playwrights in search of further development to explore the many services and programs offered by the following group of play development organizations:
Bay Area Playwrights Festival, Black and Latino Playwrights Conference, Great Plains Theatre Conference, National Playwrights Conference at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, New Harmony Project, PlayPenn, Playwrights’ Center, Playwrights Realm and Seven Devils New Play Foundry.
DTC has a twelve-person acting company – the Brierley Resident Acting Company. Therefore, we rarely program one and two person plays unless they provide great roles for members of the company.
We produce five to six subscription shows each season. We produce in three spaces: The Potter Rose Performance Hall (551 seats), Kalita Humphreys Theater (471 seats) and our Studio Theater (125 seats). This means the majority of plays and musicals we program must appeal to a large and very broad audience. We invite you to visit our production history page to learn more about our programming.
Thank you for your interest in Dallas Theater Center.
