All plays should be original works not previously performed, ten minutes or less in length, and contain an at least oblique reference to a village. Scripts will be evaluated blindly and selected for the festival by the Board of The Players. The number of special effects (lighting/sound) and actors could factor into our decision. The plays will be performed as a single evening, so set pieces and background are limited. Think ‘blackbox style’ space. </span></p><br><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">Manuscripts should be submitted to </span><a href="mailto:shannon@gatesmillsplayers.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">shannon@gatesmillsplayers.com</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"> by November 1, 2025. </span></font></span></div><br></div></div></body></html>
