Seeking Play Submissions

The Actors Theatre Workshop is accepting submissions of original plays for our Fall Play Reading and Discussion Series. We are looking for new, contemporary works that examine the issues that people in America struggle with today. Theatre will always be at the forefront of change, and we are interested in how individuals and families are grappling with the range of challenges they are facing.

Join us at Strand Theater (5426 Harford Road, Baltimore, MD 21214) from 2pm to 5pm on Saturday, January 13th. Scribble on our graffiti wall, sit for a video confessional, and hobnob with local writers and artists.

Audiences of 2023's Variations on The End voted "COURAGE" as next year's theme, and this party is where we'll generate source material to inspire 2024's authors. That includes YOU! The Variations Project encourages participation from all levels of writing experience. We look forward to a fun afternoon with new friends and old.
