Play Development
Our greatest strength as a company has been, and continues to be, our vivid local identity. We hire and support local talent—onstage and off. Our commitment to fostering new works by local playwrights can be seen through our highly respected Silver Commissions program.
Script Submissions
We do not accept and will not read unsolicited script submissions. However, to make you and your work known to us, we welcome letters of introduction. Please include a bio of yourself and an overview of your work. Contact Stephen Drover, New Works & Professional Engagement, at sdrover@artsclub.com.
