The Mobtown Playwrights Group

September 23, 2011

After a highly successful first season in which we workshopped three new plays — one of which, Jessica McHugh’s FOOLS CALL IT FATE, will receive a full production on the Mobtown stage this summer (July 22 through August 6, to be exact) — the play development wing of Baltimore’s Mobtown Players will once again devote 4 slots of its upcoming season to the development of new work by area writers.

Each of the first 3 slots will consist of back-to-back weekends of public readings. The Mobtown Players will supply actors, directors, and marketing acumen. Playwrights will have a chance to revise their drafts based on feedback from the first weekend’s readings, and to rehearse those revisions for the second weekend’s readings.  The goal for the final slot is to select one script to receive a full production by the Mobtown Players.

THE SUBMISSION PERIOD FOR THE 2011-2012 PERIOD IS CLOSED. PLEASE CHECK BACK IN MAY 2012 FOR THE NEXT SUBMISSION PERIOD.
