SUBMIT TO: Magnet’s 10 Minute Play Festival

MAGNET THEATER’S VERY OWN 10-MINUTE PLAY FESTIVAL

If “write more” was your New Year’s Resolution — you’re in luck! We are looking for five original comedic plays to produce for our 10-Minute Play Festival, and submissions are now OPEN! Instructions and submission guidelines below.

Are you a sketch writer looking to try something new? A playwright looking for more exposure? A random internet user who stumbled across this page? Anyone and everyone is encouraged to submit. Please send us your best 10-minute play (seriously, no more than 10 minutes) and stay tuned for auditions at the end of February, as well as Magnet Theater’s Very Own 10-Minute Play Festival on March 19th and 26th!

HOW TO SUBMIT

• Email magnet10minuteplayfestival@gmail.com with the subject line, “10-Minute Submission: <YOUR NAME>”.

• Please include the following information in the body of the email (and keep answers short!): Name; What comedy theater you are associated with (if any); Whether you have an sketch or playwriting experience (it’s fine if the answer is no!); Why you wanted to be a part of Magnet Theater’s Very Own 10-Minute Play Festival.

• Attach your play to the email as a PDF. This is important. We won’t read any other format.

Submission Guidelines/FAQs

• Only one submission per person. Send us your best work!

• The plays really do need to be under 10 minutes. That means no more than 11 pages, not including the cover page. We will not read past the 11th page.

• We are looking for NEW plays! Please don’t send anything that has already been produced.

• All submissions must be in by February 19th, 10:00 pm EST. Submissions will not be accepted or considered after this time.

• Notifications of selection will go out a few days after submissions close.

• All authors agree to permit the Magnet Theater to produce their submitted play if the theater should wish to do so. Authors retain copyright and full ownership of their plays.

• Diversity applicants strongly encouraged to submit!
