Our Mission: To present works of theatre to an invited audience for the express purpose of discovering (or re-discovering) the theatrical merits of the play and, when relevant, the potential to be mined from further development...while providing the participating artists a space to explore/expand/share their talent/creativity. Submission Guidelines: Priority is given to members of the Eclectic Company Theatre. However, if you are a playwright interested in being involved in the reading series, contact Chelsea Sutton at ECTWriters@gmail.com in order to discuss the goals for your script. Because of the nature of the series, we prefer to work with local playwrights or playwrights able to travel to Los Angeles to hear their work. Selection will be based on availability, interest in the work by our company members and our ability to help the playwright reach his/her goals. We reserve the right to not work with a playwright we feel does not fit into our mission as a company. Currently, readings are only held once per month. A post-reading Q&A is held at the discretion of the evening's producer and playwright. If you have a one-act ready for production, please consider submitting it to our Hurricane Season New Plays Festival. CLICK HERE for information. |
