BTTC is committed to producing new and innovative works from playwrights all over the country, bringing underserved and underrepresented communities to the forefront. The development of original, unpublished plays remains integral to our mission statement. We invite playwrights of all experience levels to submit their full length plays for consideration!
Each play experiences:
four days of workshop style rehearsals
one public stage reading
one moderated Q&A between the audience, production team, and playwright
2025 Season slots:

June 7th 2025 (filled)

We accept submissions year round! There is no submission deadline. Playwrights may submit one play for consideration per calendar year, regardless if that play is chosen to be produced by BTTC.
ELIGIBILITY
Must be a full length completed play. We consider a piece over 50 pages and/or a run time of 60-90 minutes a full length. We are unable to workshop musicals at this time.
Must have a minimum of 3 characters. We are unable to workshop one-person shows at this time.
We do not consider new drafts of previously workshopped work.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
We accept submissions year-round! Playwrights may submit one script for consideration per year, regardless if that script is chosen to be produced by BTTC.
Please submit a brief synopsis, character breakdown, and two to three sample scenes from your piece. Choose the scenes that you feel show the heart of your piece.
Please note any content warnings (adult themes, violence of any kind, adult language, sexual content etc.) We consider works of all content ratings! We like to warn our audiences ahead of time.
A professional resume. If you don’t have an artistic professional resume, an artist statement (approx. 150 word count) will work as well.
Answer the following: Why do you want Broke Thespians to engage with your work? What elements of your piece have the potential to enrich the San Marcos community? Is there a message you want your audience to walk away with? What do you hope to leave this experience with?
Please email katie@brokethespians.org with your submission materials.
