The Drama Workshop is now accepting submissions for Home Brew Theatre 8.
Home Brew Theatre is TDW’s festival featuring short plays by local authors, including a Meet the Artists reception where local beer is featured. Since Home Brew Theatre’s inception in 2016, it has quickly become Cincinnati’s premiere short play festival.
Home Brew Theatre 8 will be staged at TDW’s Glenmore Playhouse, with four performances over the weekend of January 10-12, 2025.
Submission Rules:
- Plays on any topic will be considered. There is no theme. Dramas, comedies and musicals will be considered.
- Plays must be ten minutes – roughly ten pages – long. Plays that are overtime during rehearsal will be asked to be trimmed with consultation of the playwright and director.
- Plays must be unpublished.
- Plays must not have been performed for a paying audience in the greater Cincinnati area in the three years prior to the January 2025 performance. (Public readings and free workshops are permitted.)
- Plays should require very little in terms of props and sets. We must transition quickly between plays. We will use tables, chairs, rehearsal cubes, and not much else.
- Playwrights must live within 100 miles of Cincinnati, and are encouraged to attend at least one performance. (A comp ticket will be provided.)
- Limit 2 submissions per playwright.(Maximum 1 per playwright will be produced.)
- Plays must be submitted anonymously. No identifying information can appear on the document itself.
- Playwright contact information will be collected via the google form.
- Playwrights of selected plays will receive a small honorarium.
- Playwrights may be consulted regarding production aspects of their plays, but final decision making resides with the production creative team and The Drama Workshop.
- All performance and publishing rights will remain the ownership of the authors.
