The Mobtown Playwrights Group

May 26, 2010

Attention, playwrights: The Mobtown Playwrights Group wants your scripts. Beginning this fall, the re-vamped play development wing of Baltimore’s Mobtown Players will devote 4 slots each season to the development of new work by up-and-coming writers.

Each of the first 3 slots will consist of back-to-back weekends of public readings. The Mobtown Players will supply actors, directors, and marketing acumen. Playwrights will have a chance to revise their drafts based on feedback from the first weekend’s readings, and to rehearse those revisions for the second weekend’s readings. The goal for the final slot is to select one script to receive a full production by the Mobtown Players.

Scripts for the first slot, which will take place in October 2010, should be submitted by August 31. Deadlines for the remaining two slots, which will take place in December 2010 and February 2011, will be forthcoming. If we can fill all three slots with scripts received this summer, we will do so.

Plays may be any length, genre, or style and may be written on any topic. You must be able to attend most rehearsals and each reading of your play. If you have any questions, please contact Brent at mobtownplaywrights@mobtownplayers.com. Scripts should be submitted electronically to the same email address.
