Miami Writes, a program of the Miami University Regionals’ Theatre, is accepting submissions until February 4, 2022 for a reading of short plays. To qualify, plays must be a maximum of 10-15 pages in length either as a complete story or as part of a larger work. Students, faculty, alumni and local playwrights are welcome to submit. The reading will be held March 22, 2022 at 7:30 pm on the Miami University campus in Studio 307 of Phelps Hall, 1601 University Blvd in Hamilton, Ohio. It will include a talk back session immediately following each play’s reading and written feedback from the audience. Playwrights are allowed only one submission and must be able to attend the March 22 event in person. To submit, email your play to Bekka Eaton, at eatonrl@miamioh.edu.
Scripts must be formatted in Times, Courier or other HTML fonts with numbered pages. Underline or highlight any stage directions needed to be read aloud to describe the visual actions or settings of the story. They should be succinct. Include a brief synopsis, the setting of your story, and a description of each character. Include a phone, email address and a brief biography in your cover letter. If the entry is an 10-15 page excerpt of a one act or full length play, submit the entire play and include a clear and cogent recap of the action preceding and following the excerpt with the pages to be read clearly indicated.
