THANK YOU!

 

Each season the Baltimore Playwrights Festival accepts new play submissions between March 1st and April 30th, OR until the maximum number of submissions is reached.  This year, we reached that number on April 12th, 2026, thereby ending the play submission period.

Thank you to all the playwrights who sent us their works this season! If you have an original play to share, please check out our website to submit during Season 47 next year.

How it Works

Every year, the BPF receives a number of original, never-produced plays by people who live in Maryland or Washington, DC.  Those plays are reviewed by our members and some are selected to eventual be put into production by BPF and member theaters.

Outline of the process
  1. Submission
  2. Review
  3. Public Readings
  4. Selection for Production
  5. Production
