IN 2018 WE ALL NEED A LAUGH!

This year, Strange Sun Theater invites playwrights to submit their COMIC PLAYS to our 2018 Greenhouse New Play Development Project. In today’s fraught world, we look to the power of laughter for release, for the off-beat way it allows us to interrogate our society, and for its ability to shine a light on human behavior with all its complexities, absurdities, and joys. Submit your comedies - Satirical, Topical, Farcical, Situational, Dark, Absurd, Odd - anything that makes us laugh! The submission deadline is February 16th, 2018.
