The Z is a creative incubator for new works, emerging artists, and unique artistic experiences. We accept submissions for new theater, dance, visual arts, music, and performance arts. Submissions can be for completed new works and performances or for works-in-progress seeking development resources. Project proposals that include engagement with or connection to our larger community are of particular interest.
Proposals are accepted year-round!
Theater
Curtain Up! New Plays Series submissions are accepted year-round. Season selections for the following year are typically made between Jan - April.
Curtain Up! New Plays Series includes staged readings, workshops, and productions in our Main Stage and Studio theater. Scripts that allow for local casting, have local connections or have regionally-related content are prioritized.
- Playwrights: Submit online or email us with:
- A copy of your script
- A brief explanation of the specific growth or next step you are looking for from production at The Z. (Ex. a script-focused workshop with rewrites, a staged reading with rehearsals to work on the script, feedback from audiences reactions etc.)
- Any production timelines, team members or additional details already in place
- Directors and Designers: Email us your theater resume and a link to your portfolio or website.
