SUBMIT YOUR ONE-ACT PLAYS
Submit your work to Sand Lake Center for the Art‘s One-Act Play Festival, which goes up in May 2026!
We’re looking for unpublished, family-friendly one-acts of all genres (not musicals) with up to six characters and a 15-minute run time that have not yet been performed at SLCA.
We encourage all playwrights from the Capital District and surrounding areas to submit. Up to two plays per playwright. No AI-generated submissions.
Plays should be submitted in a common playwriting format. Several playwriting formats may be found online. Plays must have minimal tech requirements, including for set, lights and sound.
Please submit an email with two PDFs to slca.general@slca-ctp.org by Feb. 15, 2026.
The first PDF should include:
- Title of play
- Name, address and phone number of playwright
- Genre of play (comedy, drama, other)
- Two- to three-sentence synopsis
The second PDF should include (in easily readable font):
- Title of play WITHOUT playwright info
- List of characters with age/gender requirements, if any
- Set requirements
- The script with pages numbered
Performances will be May 15–17 at SLCA. If you have questions, email producer Sue Frost at sue3frost@gmail.com.
