10-12 Minute Play

Onstage/Offstage (www.onstageoffstage.org) is looking for 10-12 minute plays to produce and air on its podcast. The theme is “WOMEN OVER 50” and plays MUST feature a woman age 50 or over as the focus/protagonist.

Selected plays will be broadcast on WRFI 88.1 Ithaca Community Radio and podcasted on our web site (www.onstageoffstage.org) and iTunes.

Submissions will air/be available as podcast on a date TBD at Onstage/Offstage’s choosing.

Submissions are welcome by email ONLY from 12:01AM MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1 to 11:59PM FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12.

Send submissions to SAPIOGEORGE@GMAIL.COM. Header must read: OSOS PLAY SUBMISSION / **PLAY NAME** / **PLAYWRIGHT NAME**

Example: OSOS PLAY SUBMISSION / Hamlet Goes Into Group Therapy / Pat Smythe-Jonez

Selected plays will be cast, rehearsed, and recorded by Onstage/Offstage personnel.

Playwrights will be required to do a short interview to accompany their play.

Please make sure your play is suitable for a reading:

Please do not submit plays that require extensive reading of stage directions; if the play does not work as a reading, do not submit. We feel that the work should be
overwhelmingly dialogue;

– THREE (3) characters maximum;
– No excessive language. Not that we are against strong language in a work, but I have to bleep it for broadcast. I leave it au naturel for the podcast;
– Plays MUST BE IN PDF FORM with playwright contact and cast/tech/set info on cover page, and pages numbered. (You’d be surprised. No, really, you would.)
– ONE play per playwright

By submitting, you agree to let Onstage/Offstage produce, air, and host your work on its website (onstageoffstage.org) in perpetuity. You will have prominent credit.
