Playwrights

Theatre Seven is proud to consider itself a center of exciting new play development in Chicago, a place where playwrights can make and remake their play with the help of directors, dramaturgs, actors and audience. Our commitment to new plays and Chicago premieres is evident in our production history: by the end of 2008, we will have brought two world premieres and four local premieres to Chicago audiences.

We have a couple categories of play submissions. Please examine the following information to ensure your play is sent properly. Please email all submissions to Artistic Director Brian Golden at brian.golden@theatresevenofchicago.org. Please do NOT send any plays hard copy via the mail. Let's save some trees!

Agent/Friend Submissions

If you have representation or have worked with us before in any capacity, please send the entire play to Artistic Director Brian Golden, along with the play's production/development history and your playwriting resume.

Unsolicited Submissions

If you're new to Theatre Seven of Chicago: welcome! Please email Artistic Director Brian Golden the first 20 pages of your play, as well as your writing resume and the play's production/development history. Please indicate, most importantly, at what stage in its development you think the play is: finished, almost finished, in progress, etc.
