Native Voices at the Autry - Call for Scripts

2009 / 2010 Call for Scripts

Submission Process:

Native Voices at the Autry is devoted to the development and production of new works for the stage by Native American writers. All emerging or experienced playwrights writing from the indigenous experience in North America are encouraged to submit their work for consideration. 

Submission Guidelines
Native Voices at the Autry will only consider completed full-length plays, plays for young  audiences or one-person shows that are text based. Solo performance artists whose work is text based should send full text in manuscript form. Please use a standard play-script format. Scripts will not be returned.
 
Please do not send one acts, ten minute plays or outlines. Also, previously submitted plays will no longer be accepted. Unless your play has undergone significant dramatic changes, there is no need to re-submit it. Plays that have not been selected are kept on file for consideration for future development opportunities. If you would like to inquire about the status of previously submitted play, please get in touch with Carlenne Lacosta, Native Voices Literary Manager, at carlenne@gmail.com.
