Silk Road Theatre Project welcomes playwrights of Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean backgrounds to submit full-length plays that have not been produced in the Chicago area. Although we appreciate the fact that many non-Silk Road playwrights write plays with Silk Road content, often with very compelling and brilliant results, we do not, at this time, produce their work.

To be considered, a play must be relevant to a people (or peoples) of the Silk Road and/or their Diaspora community(ies). Furthermore, the play's protagonist must be of an Asian, Middle Eastern, or Mediterranean background.

Please include a resume with production history when mailing your script. Scripts will not be returned. No e-mail submissions accepted.

We are interested in dramas, comedies, and musicals. Solo pieces and performance art pieces are also welcome. Submissions will be considered for either a staged reading or a production.
