At Pioneer Drama Service, our
editors are constantly on the look out for new plays. As a full-service
theatre publishing company, our needs fall into a number of areas.
A thorough tour of this website will give you a hint as to the
scope of our catalog.
If you are interested in submitting your material, we suggest
that you first send a Query Letter to our Post Office Box (below)
or via E-Mail to playwrights@pioneerdrama.com
to see if your play meets the current needs of our market.
When submitting a play, we ask you to follow these guidelines:
- All plays must be unpublished and accompanied by proof of
production (e.g., programs, reviews). Since new plays are created
for the purpose of production, it is the feeling of the editors
that new plays must have this fundamental "field test"
before we considering offering them to our customers.
- Plays may be of any length up to 90 minutes and may be on
any subject. However, subject matter and language must be appropriate
for schools and family-oriented theatre. Due to the needs of
many producing organizations, productions favoring female roles
and having minimal set requirements stand a better chance of
success.
- Plays must be accompanied by the following:
- Synopsis/Description
- Cast List
- Cast Breakdown (i.e. 5M, 6W)
- Running Time
- Set Design
- Prop List
- Tape of music (When applicable.)
- Submissions will not be returned unless accompanied by a
9x12" self-addressed, stamped return envelope.
All plays received will be considered for publication and
will usually be accepted or rejected within 12 weeks. Send submissions
