their work is interpreted by a director and actors in a staged reading. With staged readings, there is typically little to no set, blocking, costumes, etc., but it is a great opportunity to see how theatre is made from the ground up.
PHP finds a director and actors for you. Each play reading is followed by a short intermission and then an optional talkback and Q&A session led by a moderator. The audience is able to ask questions and provide feedback in a constructive environment. We are thrilled to be a part of the development process for our local playwrights.
This reading series is developmental in nature, so we don't accept published plays or "complete" plays that have been fully produced. We want to help you by giving community theatre artists the opportunity to work with your piece so you can take that into future development.
The staged reading is held at the historic Legion Theatre!
Questions
How local is "local?"
We accept playwrights across the state, however, preference will be given to those in North Georgia, and the playwright must be in attendance at the reading. After all, the staged reading is for your benefit!
About how long should my play be?
For this series, we only accept full length plays. Ones that we can spend a whole evening on. A good rule of thumb is at least one hour of runtime, approximately 60 manuscript pages.
What type of plays do you accept?
At this time, we are limiting our staged readings to plays for a general audience. No musicals or children's plays. We also do not accept plays that consist of highly sexual situations or an over abundance of profanity.
I have a completed play! Where can I submit that?
This reading series is developmental in nature, so we don't accept published plays or "complete" plays that have been fully produced. If your play is completed, we do accept submissions for our regular season!
My play fits. What next?
Make sure your play is blind, with no identifying information anywhere except the title page. We prefer standard play formatting, but the plays format will not disqualify you. Just ensure it is easy to read (i.e. 12 point font). Your play will be submitted as a blind copy to our reading committee.
