Play. Write. Week – Submission Portal
Part of the 505 Alive Festival | June 2–July 27, 2025
Welcome to the Play. Write. Week submission portal! We are excited to offer playwrights the opportunity to submit their original works for staged readings during our 505 Alive! summer festival.
We are seeking one to two additional works to add to our roster, focusing on both emerging and established New Mexican playwrights or stories. Whether you’re an experienced writer or a new voice, we invite you to submit your play and become part of this exciting new works pipeline.
What We’re Looking For:
We are looking for original works-in-progress. Priority will be given to New Mexican playwrights, or pieces that explore the reality of living in New Mexico, either through geographic connection or by addressing themes, experiences, and stories tied to the state. These staged readings will serve as a platform for new voices to engage directly with the theater community, fostering inclusive and diverse storytelling.
What Selected Playwrights Receive:
- A Professional Production Team: Your play will be supported by a dedicated team, including director, actors, and technical support.
- Marketing and Audience Development: We’ll help increase the visibility of your work, engaging audiences and promoting your play throughout the festival.
- A Stipend: Playwrights will receive compensation for their contributions.
Submit Your Play!
This is your chance to have your work heard by a professional team and a live audience. We want to celebrate your creativity, vision, and storytelling! Please limit one submission per playwright.
