Script Submissions

We welcome all submissions from all kinds of playwrights. It certainly helps to get to know us, but we are looking to push our boundaries. We have a resident ensemble and we straddle an elusive mix of patrons: we’re located in a small town in rural MN and yet we pull from the larger communities around us. Scripts that have fun theatrically and scripts that have ‘heart’ tend to do well for us.

Keep in mind: For unsolicited plays, there’s a bit of a backlog and it can take a while to get to them. Send your script to [email protected]. Include what made you choose our theatre and why you think we would be a good fit for your play.
