Play Submissions are Open!

We are pleased to announce that play submissions for the 13th Annual Original Play Festival are now OPEN!

First, we request an email to the Original Play Festival Coordinator, Sam Sobel, at (sms745@scarletmail.rutgers.edu) as soon as possible to indicate that you are interested in submitting a play. This need not commit you to a specific play, but does notify the Reading Committee to look out for your submission!

If you are interested in submitting a short play for consideration, submit your play to the form by 11:59 pm on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19th, 2021.

Office Hours:

Date: Saturday, February 13th from 12:00pm to 3:00pm

Our OPF Coordinator, Sam Sobel, will be hosting open office hours to answer any questions and go over your play drafts!

Feel free to come prepared with your plays to be workshopped and reviewed, or simply come with questions about all things OPF and playwriting.

Sign up for an office hour time slot here:

About OPF:

No experience? No problem! OPF is an opportunity for new and passionate writers to share their stories and create something original!

The Original Play Festival (OPF) is a festival comprised of multiple student-written one-act plays, directed and acted by students. The Original Play Festival is a tradition that celebrates new work and the importance of student theatre each year at Cabaret.

OPF will be rehearsed and presented virtually. Keep that in mind as you work to cultivate your piece.

Please note that due to University constraints, the Reading Committee is only accepting submissions from full-time or part-time Rutgers University-New Brunswick undergraduate students.  

Finally, if you have any questions or concerns about the proposal process, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Original Play Festival Coordinator at sms745@scarletmail.rutgers.edu; please copy dunnsabrina618@gmail.com on all emails.
