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.


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.

This call is open to all forms of traditional printmaking: relief, letterpress, screenprint, lithography, intaglio, cyanotypes, and monotypes. There are no image specifications- this is an art calendar, the imagery doesn’t need to be associated with the month.

Each participant will be responsible for producing 120 prints from the same matrix. The editions can be variable (different colors, monotypes, chine colle, etc). The calendars will be sold at our annual sale, Local Ink, to collectors, and members/nonmembers of TLP. The proceeds of the calendar go to support the ongoing programming of TLP to promote, produce, and preserve the art of printmaking. Participating artists will be donating their time and efforts to help make this happen. 

Image Requirements:
- Image size is 6”x8”
- For relief images, we will provide a lino block that fits within our press’ jig
- Screenprinted images can be printed in any process (photo emulsion, drawing fluid, screen filler, etc)
- There is no color requirement- prints can range from one to multiple colors
- Images can also be printed onto lightweight paper and chine colled onto the calendar page

Deadline is Feb 20. Our committee will meet to choose the selected artists. Once selected, you will be given the option to choose a month and then will receive your 120 calendar pages. The pages are made with Cougar Digital Paper and are best suited for relief and screenprinted images. Calendar pages are due November 1.
