There Will Be Words: New Play Workshop

Vagabond Theatre Group’s There Will Be Words is a new play reading series aimed at developing original, local works through a workshop, public reading and talkback. Selected scripts are workshopped with a cast of Boston actors and receive a reading at a free event at Trident Booksellers & Cafe, after which the audience discusses the piece and provides feedback.

Of the ten scripts selected for past TWBW readings, VTG has brought two to full production.

Submissions are not currently open, but they will be again soon. We have updated our guidelines recently, so check them out: 

    • Both short and full-length plays are accepted.
    • Playwrights must be New England-based.
    • Playwrights must be available to attend the reading and be able to provide their own transportation to and from Trident Booksellers & Cafe.
    • Plays should be entirely original work.
    • Plays should not have been produced in full prior to TWBW (readings/workshops are fine).
    • Playwrights may submit two plays per round of submissions.

Please email plays in PDF format to submissions@vagabondtheatregroup.com. Include a personal biography and a synopsis of the play in the body of the email.
