Script Submission Guidelines
We accept works from Bay Area residents only. Playwrights are expected to attend the program and participate, if a talk-back session with the audience is scheduled.
Plays accepted have been between 10 and 90 pages and of all genres except children's plays or musicals. Scripts must be in standard format (see Submission Format box below).
Presenting your work in this professional manner and uniform style helps us immensely in estimating the running time of your play.
Plays should not have received a previous full production in the Bay Area. If your play is selected for a production with RAW, and you subsequently discover it is being produced elsewhere prior to your RAW production, it is your responsibility to notify RAW immediately.
Plays which have been previously work shopped and are ready for full production are not only accepted but are preferred.
HOW: Submission of scripts is by electronic means only, as an attachment in a Word or RTF file.
WHEN: RAW is now accepting ONE ACTS ONLY (running time 30 to 50 minutes) for the Summer Festival on Aug 19-22. DEADLINE: APRIL 1, 2010.
