THEATRE503 SCRIPT SUBMISSION AND PROGRAMMING POLICY

We support the work and development of debut and emerging writers along with the artists who bring their words to life. We want to discover stories in close conversation with our times, from voices we haven’t heard before, that makes us see the world anew.
SCRIPT SUBMISSIONS
We are interested in reading scripts from any writer who is yet to have a full-length play of more than 65 minutes produced professionally for 4 weeks or more in any theatre. We apply this criteria to all script submissions: Unsolicited, Playwriting Award, Rapid Write Response and the 503Five.
PROGRAMMING
The same criteria applies to programing productions at Theatre503, in particular our 4- week curated hires and in house shows. Ultimately our decision making comes down to the quality of the script and the story it is telling. We want to surprise, invigorate and entertain our audience, we celebrate bold theatricality, emotional connection and plays that provoke the mind.  We also take into consideration how much having a show on at 503 will benefit the writer.
A NOTE FOR AGENTS
We are more than happy to read submissions and proposals sent by agents on behalf of their clients, through our Unsolicited script reading process. However, we will only accept submissions from individual writers for the Playwriting Award, 503Five and Rapid Write Response.
Lisa Spirling, Artistic Director
