Write – Produce – Take Action

Protest Plays wants YOU to help us get out the vote before mid-term elections!

We are looking for 1-3 minute non-partisan plays/monologues which activate audiences to vote/register to vote for the midterm elections.

Are you a theatremaker who wants to present GET OUT THE VOTE plays at your theatre? If so, please REGISTER HERE

 

 

 

• Plays/Monologues should:
  • Be easy to stage. We’re asking theatres to perform these pieces before their shows this summer and fall, so your play needs to be flexible enough to work in front of a curtain, on a crazy multi-level set, or even in a lobby and with whatever acting talent they have involved in their current productions.
  • On that note, some theatres may be thrilled by plays for kids, short musicals, plays that incorporate the ushers or FOH staff, so get creative!
  • Encourage audiences to register/vote. Plays should NOT be telling audiences who/which party they should vote for.
• After you complete the form below, email your play to us:
  • BLIND (no author info on script)
  • In PDF format
  • Saved as PLAY TITLE.pdf

Then, keep an eye out for an email from us! We’re going to use LBDI’s peer-evaluation process to select our finalists, which means each of you will read and respond to a selection of plays.

• Multiple submissions ok! But you MUST complete separate registrations for each script.
• Plays must be received by May 18th
• Peer eval window will begin May 22nd
