Submit your play.

Our goal is to introduce emerging and unknown playwrights with an opportunity to have their works, produced in a ‘Radio Play” format to be broadcast on our Open-Door Playhouse Podcast. We invite interested playwrights to submit 1 Act for up to 45 minutes and short 10-minute plays to be produced for radio production. 

Ongoing submissions

  • 10-minute plays that of any genre with max of 4 characters.  

  • 1 Act plays (45 min  50 max) of any genre six characters or less.

  • We embrace and encourage the submission of  LGBTQ, Black Lives Matter, Senior Citizen, and all social perspectives and current issues. 

  •  Work will be chosen by a team of readers. The directors choose the plays we will produce, within the production budget guidelines we give them.

  • There is no restriction on the subject matter, however, please keep in mind that we are attempting to reach a very broad audience with our programming and subject matter ‘taste’ will be a large part of our selection process.

Open-Door Playhouse is a 501c3 theater organization our plays depend on donations from listeners and other fans. In support of our productions we kindly suggest  - but do NOT require - a  minimum donation of $10+ for each submission.
