NCP Play Proposals

Please fill out the form below in its entirety. The more detail and specificity the better.
Please only submit 1 play per season. Submission periods will take place each summer and fall.

What kinds of plays are we looking for?

  • Classic, contemporary, and new plays.

  • Plays that are well written: a combination of strong and distinct characters, clear plotting, and powerful storytelling.

  • Plays that pack an emotional punch: anything that leaves the audience with a lump in the throat, a punch in their gut, a tear in their eye, an aha moment, or a burning question.

  • Plays that have something to say about what it means to be human: emotionally, spiritually, relationally, psychologically, etc.

  • Plays that ask big questions and don’t necessarily provide clear cut answers.

  • Plays that represent the diversity of our region in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and more.

  • Plays that have won major awards, played on Broadway, and/or played Off-Broadway.

  • Plays that make sense to produce at Island City Stage (I.E. - a play that absolutely requires 2 stories will not work)

  • Keep in mind we rarely produce shows with large casts (7+) unless they are well known, popular, and have been widely produced.

  • New Plays that present an opportunity for our ensemble to develop.
