CALLING ALL PLAYWRIGHTS CURRENTLY LIVING IN NEW MEXICO
Stage reading opportunity in Los Alamos, NM

Tired of bribing your friends with cookies to sit on your sofa and listen to your latest play? Then let our quirky townsfolk be your audience!

What it is:
— The Los Alamos Little Theater invites submissions of plays to be read and scored by a committee
— We will select two plays, inviting the playwright to town for a reading and talk-back
— The playwright can choose whether to cast/rehearse the show at home and then bring their team up to Los Alamos, or to let the LALT use local actors and a director
— LALT will handle all local advertisement, and run minimal lights as needed for the show
— The first play reading will be on October 1, 2016, and the second play will be read on a date in March that is yet to be decided
— There will be no payment, sorry, just a chance to dry-run your piece for an audience.

Submission instructions
— Only playwrights currently living in New Mexico will be considered this year
— Deadline of 15 August, 2016
— Full length pieces only (1-2 hours running time)
— We cannot consider musicals or TYA or children’s theater at this time
— No plays, please, that have had professional (i.e., actors off book in front of paying audience) productions or are published — this is because we are trying to offer an opportunity for NM playwrights with limited access to early play development. A play that’s been produced and/or published has likely already seen a few stages, but so many others are languishing in their authors’ hard drives, hoping to be heard and polished.

— Please send an email to lalt.readings@gmail.com with two (2) PDF file attachments as follows:
1. The blinded script (no author information anywhere on the script) as a PDF file
2. A cover page with play title and all author contact information
