The Forge Theater Lab is devoted to developing plays of a range of genres and styles. We respond especially to plays that provoke conversation about important contemporary issues.
All submissions are added to a library of new play scripts that The Forge's literary staff will use when selecting material for staged readings, workshops, and full productions.
To submit a manuscript, please email us at theforgetheaterlab@gmail.com. Attach the script as a Word or PDF file. On the first or second page, include a brief description of the play and a list of roles. In the body of your email, describe the play's production history to date, if any. In the case of an adaptation or translation of a copyrighted work, make sure to include permission of the source material's copyright owner. You may also attach your biography, resume, reviews, or any other materials that might help pique our interest in you and your work. We will confirm receipt of your submission, but please be aware that we are not able to respond with personal feedback to every play we receive.
