PlaywrightsThe Forge Theater Lab accepts unsolicited manuscripts from playwrights on a rolling basis. In this early phase in the life of the company, we are producing stage works by writers with a connection to Fitchburg State University. As we grow in future years, we will expand to invite submissions from all playwrights.
All submissions are added to a library of new play scripts that The Forge's Artistic Director will use when selecting material for staged readings, workshops, and full productions. |
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 alumni, current students, faculty, staff, and others with a connection to our host Fitchburg State University are invited to share their works in progress.
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, please 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 bio, resume, reviews, and 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.
Future Cast and Crew PositionsThe Forge casts productions, workshops, and readings using a combination of auditions and invitations to actors who have worked with us before. Auditions for upcoming productions will be posted on this page when they are announced.
This page will also announce openings for directors, designers, stage managers, technicians, and staff. If you would like to submit your resume and letter of general interest to be kept on file for future openings, please email us at theforgetheaterlab@gmail.com. |
