Script Submisisons

Cleveland Play House produces work that inspires, stimulates, and entertains diverse audiences across Northeast Ohio.

We are most interested in scripts that are: 

• Smart. Personal. Provocative.
• Socially relevant. Thrilling. Necessary.
• Told in immediate, imaginative, and intimate ways

We are seeking plays that contain: 

• A diversity of ideas and a multiplicity of voices
• Multi-generational casts
• Multi-racial casts
• Female protagonists
• Midwestern themes and/or Cleveland connections

Cleveland Play House accepts full-length plays submitted by literary agents only.

Due to the volume of submissions our artistic department receives, we are unable to accept unsolicited manuscripts.

As Cleveland Play House is committed to fostering a vibrant artistic community, we do accept proposals from Ohio residents. For Ohio writers, we look forward to receiving a synopsis, 10-page sample, and resume from anyone interested in having their work considered.

We accept proposals on a year-round basis and prefer electronic submission. Materials can be uploaded using the form on this page.

Or submissions may be mailed to:
