How to submit a script
Theatre503 actively sources work from many different places: writers, artists, companies, and agents. We also read unsolicited scripts.
There is not an ideal ‘theatre503 play’ but our primary focus is original work from early career playwrights.
Theatre503 is strongly committed to discovering new and emerging writing talent and as such ensure all submitted scripts are read in their entirety by two of our reading panel. Theatre503 currently receive no funding or subsidy to support any part of this process.
Please submit your script by email only to the following address: scripts@theatre503.com
Your submission should include : An email letter of introduction, full contact details, cv, a short synopsis and the script.
You will receive an email receipt for the script. We will aim to read your play within four months. You will be notified of the outcome of this process by email only. Limited feedback will ONLY be given upon direct request from a writer, or at the theatre’s discretion.
Please DO NOT send hard copies or stamp addressed envelopes for reply, or return of scripts. We are unable to provide this service.
Your play will be read and discussed at a group meeting where plays with potential for production, or writers we’d like to develop a relationship with, are identified. Those scripts will then be considered by our Senior Reading Team. Whatever the outcome, you will be contacted at this key stage, to inform you of our decision. You may then request feedback.
If you have any access needs in relation to submission of work, please do contact us.
Equally, if your work is being read or performed please keep us informed.
For all other enquiries contact us on : literary@theatre503.com
We look forward to reading your work!
