This season, Vivid Stage is accepting submissions for our production: In the Mix: An Evening of Short Plays.

​

We are looking for 10- to 20-minute plays that tell stories that are a part of the zeitgeist - the spirit of the times - in the spring of 2025. Plays may be comedic or dramatic, and must take place on a simple set. See below for more guidelines.

No fee to submit. If chosen for production, there will be a royalty paid to the playwright.
