Thanks for your interest in working with Theater Wit

For play submissions, we currently accept

  • Unsolicited work from any playwright currently living in Chicago or its immediate environs
  • Agent submissions (no more than 2/agent at a time).  Please contact the AD before submitting
  • Blind submissions if you aren't one of the above (representative pages). We have no dedicated staff and so cannot guarantee to read unsolicited work from non-Chicago playwrights.

For all other positions, please review any job-specific and submission requirements on the submission detail.
