Working With Us
Articulate Theatre Company is an ensemble group of actors, writers, directors, producers, managers and designers. We work to both produce great theatre and further our members in their craft. Our "dues" are $50 for 6 months or an equitable amount of "sweat equity." We are careful and specific in incorporating new members. If you'd like to be a part of the group, please read the information below, but please note that we don't bring new people in all that often.

A great story is the backbone of every great theatre experience. Have you got a great story? Read on, MacDuff (said no Shakespearean, ever) There are two ways to share your writing with us:
Note: We are not actively looking for or requesting submissions. If and when we do that, we will put out a call. But if you feel like you have THE play and want to send it, please follow the guidelines below.
1. Twice a year we do our "Articulating the Arts" Signature Series, where we invite submissions of 10-minute plays based on the art form we are highlighting at the time. If you wish to be involved with that, please sign up for our mailing list.
2. Follow the steps below to submit your script info. Yes, it's detailed, but will help trim to scripts to which we are actually able to commit. Emailed .pdf versions are fine. Please do not send hard copies. NOTE: We do not promise a response to your submission.

Please specify if there are any special casting requirements, such as "needs to be able to sing, know sign language, etc." We like scripts that can be cast with a majority of our ensemble members. Take a look at them here, and then decide if at least 60% of your roles can be cast from them. We are working to increase our diversity, but also want to work with our current membership.
