Playwrights:

Silk Road Theatre Project welcomes playwrights of Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean backgrounds to submit full-length plays that have not been produced in the Chicago area. Although we appreciate the fact that many non-Silk Road playwrights write plays with Silk Road content, often with very compelling and brilliant results, we do not, at this time, produce their work.

To be considered, a play must be relevant to a people (or peoples) of the Silk Road and/or their Diaspora community(ies). Furthermore, the play's protagonist must be of an Asian, Middle Eastern, or Mediterranean background. We are interested in dramas, comedies, and musicals. Solo pieces and performance art pieces are also welcome. Submissions will be considered for either a staged reading or a production.

Please include a resume with production history when mailing your script. Scripts will not be returned. No e-mail submissions accepted.

Mail all submissions and inquiries to:
