Stage Left accepts synopses
Script Submissions
Stage Left does not accept unsolicited full manuscripts from individuals. We do, of course, accept them directly from literary agents.

However, if you believe you have a play that fits our artistic mission to raise debate on political and social issues, please send us:

- Cover Letter
- Resume
- One page synopsis
- 10-page excerpt
- Supporting Materials: Any other information you feel may be helpful, including letters of recommendation from Artistic Directors or Literary Managers of other professional theatres.
- Reliable email address

Should your materials interest us, we will contact you and ask for the complete script.

Please refer to our production history page if you would like more information on the types of scripts we have produced in the past.

If you are interested in pursuing development for your script, please refer to our Downstage Left program. A printable application with specific guidelines other than those listed above is available on the DSL-for-artists page.

Estimated turnaround time for unsolicited submissions: Three months
Estimated turnaround time for full manuscripts: One year
Please send submissions to:

John Sanders
Director of New Play Development
Stage Left Theatre
3408 N. Sheffield
Chicago, IL 60657

If you have questions, please contact Literary Manager LaRonika Thomas at scripts@stagelefttheatre.com
