Cincinnati LAB Theatre is now planning its twelfth producing season and accepting submissions to fill productions for its 2025 New Works Festival. Cincinnati LAB Theatre will be producing these scripts over two weekends in a rotating festival format summer of 2025.
To be considered for a play reading a playwright must submit an original, unpublished, fully realized script of at least 30 minutes in length. To be considered for a fully staged workshop production a playwright must submit an original, unpublished, fully realized script of at least 45min in length to no longer that 90 minutes in length that has previously had at least one verifiable staged reading. Only plays allowing for 6 actors or less will be accepted. Erotica and pornography will not be considered. Playwrights must be available in person and/or by video conference for the entirety of the rehearsal/workshop process. Only those playwrights willing to engage in a workshop process should submit. All playwrights must be present for at least one performance. Plays previously produced as play readings by Cincinnati LAB Theatre will be given special consideration for fully staged workshop productions. Once scripts are chosen playwrights will be paired with a director and cast to fulfill the rehearsal/workshop process. Directors and cast will be chosen by Cincinnati LAB Theatre.
Submissions for the summer festival productions will be accepted between August 28, 2024 and December 31, 2024. Submissions will be accepted by Jotform here: https://form.jotform.com/223286773604057
There is a $5 submission fee. This fee covers the cost to pay readers.

We look forward to reading your pieces!
Sincerely,
Cincinnati LAB Theatre
