We will host additional gatherings for playwrights in advance of the June 15 submission deadline. Dates TBA. 

Performances to be held in the last half of August 2024. Exact dates TBD based on play submissions. 

Call for Directors: Around eight plays will be produced. Directors will direct 1-2 plays eachand participate in the reading and selection of submissions as well as the selection of actors. If you are interested in participating as a director, please email info@pieronetheatre.org . Additionally, potential directors are encouraged to attend the festival kickoff.

Please email submissions to info@pieronetheatre.org between April 1 and  June 15, 2024.

Call for Performers: Auditions will be held for a “company” from which the selected plays will be cast. Each play will have between 1 and 6 characters. Most actors will appear in more than one play. Date TBA. 

An opportunity for writers: New works created this spring are encouraged! If you are interested in writing a ten - minute play, we encourage you to check out the book “A More Perfect 10” by Gary Garrison (some copies will be available for checkout at the Pier One office.)
