The Ghostlight Stage Company

(?)

Call to Artists: Play Submissions

(?)

Posted:

Mar 14, 2025

Company: The Ghostlight Stage Company - Cincinnati, Ohio

Pay Rate: $425 stipend (for approx. 20-22 hours of required hiring/meeting/rehearsal/tech/performance time + however much time is needed outside of rehearsal for script adjustments)

Directors: TBD after plays are selected / playwrights will be a part of this hiring process

Seeking: One-act play submissions with run times of approximately 35-50 minutes and no more than 4 actors. We strongly encourage BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ playwrights to submit their work, as we seek to uplift the voices and stories of underrepresented artists.

About the Event: The Ghostlight Stage Company will be producing 2 original one-act plays in October 2025 (exact dates TBD) as part of its third annual One Act Double Feature event. This event is unique in that it is a hybrid between a typical staged reading and a full production. There will be a short 1-2 week rehearsal process of only 4 rehearsals per piece that concludes with performances for the public at the end of the week (two total performances). In addition, all plays will be assigned a costume and set designer who will come up with design concepts for the plays and a director who will come up with a full vision for the piece, as if they were being fully produced. These designs for set and costumes will be shared with the audience in the form of lobby displays. Additionally, the directors and playwrights will both speak during the performance about how the play would continue on in its development to give the audience a better idea of what the production would look like on a full scale. The event will "pull back the curtain" for audiences to show them what all goes into the process of developing new work, while also giving playwrights the valuable experience of having a full team of designers, a director and actors to explore their piece without it being fully produced yet.

To Submit: Please fill out the google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe6N6ibai3LNgAHObN3nDGuHMave8WB3CJNyIduc74o7jMpuw/viewform?usp=sharing

The google form will ask for a relevant resume of experience, a one page cover letter describing what interests you about this workshop process / event, and will include a place to upload all plays you would like to submit for consideration.

If you experience any issues filling out the form or have any questions about the submission process please contact The Ghostlight Stage Company’s Producing Artistic Director, Alyssa Batsakis at: alyssa@theghostlightstageco.com

Submission Deadline: Play submissions will be accepted until April 18, 2025. Plays will be selected on a rolling basis, and therefore submissions could close before this time if we find what we are looking for before then. Submitting early is encouraged. You will hear from us by May 2, 2025 regardless of the outcome.

Production Schedule

Auditions & Hiring Process for Directors and Designers: July/August 2025

Workshop process & performances: October 2025 (exact dates TBD)

There will be 4 rehearsals for each piece that are 3 hours each (12 hours total of rehearsal time per show). The rehearsal schedule can be flexible to the playwright's schedule if conflicts are given in advance. These rehearsals will be spread out between the course of 2 weeks, to allow for time in between rehearsals for playwrights to make adjustments to the script. They will conclude with 2 public performances.

The Ghostlight Stage Company is an equal opportunity employer. It is our policy to provide equal opportunity without regard to the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and we require affirmative action to ensure equality of opportunity in all aspects of employment. All employees and volunteers (whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, identity, sexual orientation, education, ability, religion, socioeconomic status, physical appearance, or attributes) should always feel valued and respected.
