ACTORS

We don't always hold our own season generals, but actors are encouraged to submit a headshot and resume using the link below at any time of the year. We will contact you if we would like to call you in.

CASTING SUBMISSIONS

PLAYWRIGHTS

We are always looking for opportunities to expand our community and connect with new voices. We want to be able to respond to every script submitted to our artistic team with a level of consideration that fully honors the work a playwright has put into their piece. In effort to respect both our company’s capacity and playwrights’ time, we have revamped our script submission policy: introducing SIDESHOW SPRINTS.

 

We are looking for plays that:

  • Tie to Sideshow’s mission and values as we strive to be an anti-racist, pro-liberation organization.
  • Move an urgent social conversation forward in a bold, new, and necessary way
  • Are fresh, formally innovative, and well-crafted
  • Embody a spirit of curiosity and expansive imagination
  • Have not yet been produced in Chicago

 

Our May 2022 Sprint is currently full! Check back in the coming months for an announcement about our next one.

 

In the meantime, if you missed the submission window, feel free to email us below with a brief bio and synopsis of your work, as well as answers (under 250 words) to the following questions:

 

Why are you excited about your play?

Why should we be excited about your play?

What is your dream next step for this project?

 

If we are interested in reading your script, we will reach out.
