Submissions Process

This page details the process by which prospective directors submit a play or plays for production as part of the SLT annual season.

Introduction

In June each year, the Theatre Committee invites submissions of plays to be performed in the following year. In August, committee members meet to discuss all the submissions and put together the season.

How To Submit A Play

Directors should submit plays using the online form <ref>*Submissions 2009 - online form on Main SLT website</ref> or fill in a hard copy (available in the bar) and post it at the Box Office. A copy of the playscript must either be given to a theatre committee member or posted in Box Office with the submission form.

Please note - from the 2009 Season onwards, directors are limited to two submissions each

There are no specific guidelines as to what sort of plays can or should be submitted. The list of SLT Productions on this site demonstrates how varied previous seasons have been, and the theatre committee is keen to remain flexible and consider all suggestions.

New Directors

The Theatre Committee is always glad to receive submissions from people who have never directed before, but have a burning desire to do so! In many seasons, there is a New Directors' Showcase<ref>See New Directors' Showcases in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007</ref>, in which a number of new directors can try their hand at a one-act piece before submitting a full-length play in a subsequent year.

New Writing

At different times over the years, SLT has been a hot-bed of new writing talent. The Theatre Committee welcomes submissions of new scripts for production, and will co-ordinate readings and script development when a new piece goes into production.
