Playwrights' Revolution
Capital Stage is seeking new plays that fulfill our mission to bring bold, thought-provoking work to the region. Plays must be full-length in any genre: comedy, drama, musical, etc. Translations, collections of one-acts, children's plays and any play that has received a full-scale, professional production prior to submission are not eligible. Plays that have had a workshop, reading or non-professional production are still eligible. Only one submission per playwright is allowed each year. Playwrights in the Northern California region are encouraged to participate.
Four plays will be selected to participate in a series of staged readings in February 2009. Playwrights included in these readings will be awarded $300. One of the plays from these readings will be considered for a fully-staged world premiere as part of Capital Stage's 2009-10 season.

Submissions are accepted between July 14, 2008 - October 17, 2008 (postmarked).

Um...thanks, but if you read the guidelines, you have to first send them a synopsis and 10 sample pages of your script, and based on that, they will or will not ask that you send the full script. Kinda hard to do all that before Friday.

Ken,
It's standard practice to ask for synopses and excerpts of finished works before getting the whole play. Most writers I know have synopses/excerpts of their plays lying around ready to go. Also, play synopses are generally a (long) paragraph long... check out this page at Sheila Callaghan's site: http://sheilacallaghan.com/plays.html it shouldn't take too long to do by Friday.

Sure, I have synopses lying around, but the point is will they get it, read it, make a decision, get back to me, and give me time to then send them the play? It seems they're only accepting things by snail mail.

Unless the Friday deadline is just for the synopsis. I thought it was for the final manuscript. The site is unclear.
