Each writer may submit up to three plays, but no more than 45 pages total.
Submissions will only be accepted electronically. Send pdf or Word files to SPTCBackstage@yahoo.com.
Include a list of characters with any relevant description, either on the title page or the second page.
Including a bio or list of credits is optional; however, you must include your name, street address and phone number in your email.

Writers will be notified by email prior to March 31, 2013, as to the reading panels decision.
Backstage at SPTC is a black box theater. Plays are simply staged with minimal set pieces, props and set dressing. Think along the lines of simple furniture that can be reconfigured, redressed, or easily moved on and off stage quickly.
Backstage at SPTC is a forum for new, original works. Strong language and adult situations are common.
Writers of selected plays are required to sign a release granting rights of performance without monetary compensation, including audio and visual recording for promotion and possible sale as a fundraiser. Writers of plays selected for production are invited to the opening night performance, along with a guest, and will receive two complimentary tickets to another performance during its run.
Please do not call the SPTC Box Office with questions regarding Lit From Within. Instead, send your inquiries to SPTCbackstage@yahoo.com. You may also visit www.santapaulatheatercenter.org for additional information regarding events.
