Stow Players is accepting new submissions for their Emerging Playwright Reading Series (EPRS).
EPRS is a play development program, minimally staged with actors (6 or less) carrying scripts, allowing the audience to assist the playwright in fulfilling the play’s full potential. We are currently seeking playwrights who currently live within 3 hours of Stow, Ohio and are willing to travel to our performance space for the Staged Reading. We have the following dates available for our 2025-2026 season: January 9, January 10, February 6, February 7, February 27, February 28, March 26 and March 27. Performances are at 7:30PM. We are currently planning on choosing two or three scripts for this season, depending on submissions received.
Performances takes place at
Heritage Barn
Silver Springs Park
5238 Young Rd
Stow, Ohio 44224
Submissions can be less than full length (~90 minutes). However, if submissions are not full length, they may be combined with other shorter scripts for one evening of staged reading and talk back.
Submissions must not have received a full production. Submissions that have received full productions, even if they have undergone significant post-production revisions, will not be considered.
