dg resource directory
The act of submitting creative work for a dramatist is as necessary as finishing it. But the process of finding the right submission opportunity can feel overwhelming. This is why, for more than 20 years, the Dramatists Guild has compiled a submissions and opportunities database, and published a full directory of theatres, agents, festivals, contests, workshops, retreats, and other submission opportunities to help make the life of the dramatist an easier one.

This functionality is part of suite of resources designed to help playwrights, composers, lyricists and librettists.  

Only active members or subscribers of the Guild may use the Resource Directory.

    Theater artists in all parts of our industry are questioning with a renewed intensity not only the ways we write plays but how we teach playwriting. The murder of George Floyd, coupled with a global pandemic, the devastating effects of climate change, continuing environmental injustices again Indigenous peoples and landscapes, and growing nativist movements across the US revealed how theatre and theatre educational institutions are failing the demand for new approaches.

Whether you want to present a mystery fund-raiser, dinner theatre production, special event, or ‘regular’ performance, you’ve come to the right place for scripts and production help.
  • We are a group of theater artists and companies joining forces during the pandemic to produce mail-based theatrical experiences. Many of us first met in the summer of 2020 in the Orchard Project’s international digital think-tank, the Liveness Lab. We wondered if analog mediums could offer a sense of tactile connection to far-flung audiences in this time of isolation and screen fatigue.
