Deadline: August 14
OPEN-DOOR PLAYHOUSE is a brand new PODCAST being launched this Summer/Fall 2020 that seeks to provide live Radio theater to audiences due to the shutdown of Live Theaters across the country.
Our goal is to introduce emerging and unknown playwrights with an opportunity to have their works, produced in a ‘Radio Play” format to be broadcast on our Open-Door Playhouse Podcast.
We invite interested playwrights to submit 1 Acts up to 45 minutes and short 10 min plays to be produced for radio production.

Ongoing Submissions for OPEN-DOOR PLAYHOUSE
1. We are currently seeking new plays with a cast of up to 6 character roles.

● Ongoing: 1 Act plays (45 min 50 max) of any genre six characters or less.
4. Work will be chosen by a team of readers. The directors choose the plays we will produce, within the production budget guidelines we give them. Once produced the plays will premiere on the Podcast and remain on the website for up to 60 days.
5. There is no restriction on the subject matter, however, please keep in mind that we are attempting to reach a very broad audience with our programming and subject matter ‘taste’ will be a large part of our selection process.
