We are looking for short plays to be included in a horror-themed Halloween show in cooperation with SATD.

If you are interested in proposing an original script of yours, please send Salvador and Leben your pitch (meaning they don't need to see a full script, but rather a breakdown of your concept) by 5 August. Leben and Salvador will review pitches and respond to proposals they'd like to include, and request finished scripts to be delivered by 26 August for workshopping and audition planning.

The following constraints should be kept in mind:
– The ultimate performance should be no longer than 20 minutes.
– Low-budget/low-set/low-tech/easy clean-up (ex., blood) will be the name of the game!
– You do not necessarily need to direct a script you wrote
– We're leaning into the dark, but do not lean into the pornographic.
– Horror can mean a lot of things. Psychological, supernatural, campy/comedic. Give us the parts of the genre that you love.

DIRECTORS
If you are interested in directing and not writing, e-mail Salvador and Leben as well, and we can keep you on standby as we review submissions. If a proposal is accepted that doesn't include a director, Salvador and Leben will reach out to you to gauge your interest with a particular script.

WHO DO I CONTACT?
Please reach out to Salvador Esparza (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or Leben Norrie (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) with either your proposal pitch or your directorial interest.

ACTORS
Interested in acting? Be on the lookout for future information about auditions in September!

'Til then, stay vigilant out there. You never know what's in your closet.
