Script Submission Guidelines 2010

In November 2009, we will review our submission guidelines for 2010. It is likely that we will begin accepting submissions on or about December 18th, 2009. Please check this website at that time. We are examining options regarding the application fee.

Script Submission Guidelines 2009

ICTF supports playwrights during the development of new theater projects at the Icicle Creek Music Center in the Cascade Mountains each summer. Authors of selected works will be awarded a residency, rehearsal process, and script-in-hand public readings in August 2009. ICTF provides a company of professional Equity actors, skilled directors and dramaturgs, round-trip transportation, meals, an Honorarium, and shared resort lodging in large, modern cabins. All playwrights who submit must commit to be available and in residence for all nine days of the Festival.

We have instituted a new, experimental submission policy for the 2009 season. We regret that circumstances compel us for the first time to require an application fee. The $15 fee goes DIRECTLY TO THE READER for his/her time in reading and evaluating the submitted play.

Scripts will be accepted through February 20, 2009.

Playwrights selected will be notified between May 10 and June 1, 2009.

Submissions must be accompanied by a $15.00 application fee made out to:
Icicle Creek Theatre Festival.

Submissions must also be accompanied by an Application Letter containing the following information:

Bio w/ history as playwright
Synopsis
Character breakdown
Objectives for working on play at ICTF

ICTF accepts only:

Full-length plays (prefer 80-120 mins. running time)
Plays that utilize six (or fewer) actors. Maximum: seven.
Plays that have not previously been produced by any professional company.

At this time, we cannot accept musicals, screenplays, TV scripts, adaptations, translations, or children’s theatre.

Script Submission and Formatting – Please submit one copy of your script. It must be collated, paginated, and bound with either binder clips or brads. Please do not use three-brad portfolio covers or report covers, etc. To save trees and shipping costs, we encourage applicants to submit double-sided copies. Author and contact information must appear on the title page.

Please send submissions to:
