The Shelterbelt produces four productions each season, from collections of short one-acts to full lengths and welcomes submissions of new scripts of all lengths and subject matter. Please read the following guidelines before you submit your play:
At this time we are accepting full-length and one-act plays.
Shelterskelter and From The Shelterbelt With Love scripts must be a maximum of 10-12 minutes in length.
Please submit the following:
1. A letter of inquiry with your contact information.
2. A one page synopsis of your script.
3. A 10-page selection from the script.
Submission of script(s) does not mean that we will give you a response. If you do not hear from us, please do not call us or e-mail us. It means that we are very, very busy. If your script is considered for the season, we will contact you.
* Make sure you have a title page at the beginning of your document, with your full name and contact info. Failure to do this may result in playwrights not getting properly credited. The title page must be in the same file, not sent as a separate file.
* Please Note: If your script is properly formatted, each page should equal a little more than 1 minute.
