Theater Resources Unlimited announces open submissions for TRU Voices

Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) announces that they are now accepting submissions for their TRU Voices New Plays Reading Series from now until January 18, 2025 for a June series. Let us pay for a developmental reading of your new play or musical! Created to nurture producers as well as writers, TRU VOICES seeks producer-driven projects, and also matches writers with producers. Each reading is followed by a “Dollars and Sense” panel discussion with prominent New York producers, general managers and artistic directors focusing on potential venues, marketing and budgeting of the work. The submission application and guidelines to apply can be found online at https://truonline.org/2025-play-guidelines/

TRU will produce a New Plays Reading Series in June 2025 that will consist of 2-3 new works presented in one performance each virtually on OnTheStage.com or similar virtual platform. The purpose is to help develop new plays, and help producers develop the skills needed to produce new works. Questions can be emailed to TRU at truplaysubmissions@gmail.com. Only digital submissions will be accepted.
