SCRIPT SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Harlequin is dedicated to producing new, unpublished works and has a strong track record in this endeavor. We do fully staged productions not staged readings or script-in-hand.
At this point there are no monies available for playwright-in-residence type programs, yet a fair royalty payment is offered to the playwright. The playwright will own all rights to their work.
A three-camera live recording is made of each production. This recording is NOT broadcast or sold but is strictly for an archival, instructional experience. A copy of this recording is available to the playwright free of charge.
Harlequin does NOT produce Musicals, geriatric or children’s theatre. Nor do we usually produce “High School angst” plays, Verse dramas, and safe “community theatre” type shows.
We prefer a cast size of 5-10, characters in their late teens to 30s, and “edgy” works. 10-30 minute one-acts are acceptable, as are full-length plays.
Scripts may be submitted either electronically or in hard copy.
I will admit that I am miserable about replying in a timely manner to the playwright. However, I will also state that I have NEVER produced a play without contacting the playwright and working out the necessary permissions and payments.
