Printed copies of your work should be mailed to RCP.  Do not submit as an email attachment.

• Type Size: 12 pt Times Roman or Courier
• Format:   standard stage format (name of speaker centered above lines). See,  for example, Richard Toscan’s manuscript format guide.
• Pages printed on one side only, 8-1/2″ x 11″ paper.
• Your work should be bound, but the binding should be removable so that we can make copies for our readers, directors, etc. We suggest a two-prong binder; please do not submit in a hard sided 3-ring binder. We will handle your script with care, but you should retain a copy of your script, because we cannot assume any liability for a lost or damaged script, and we won’t mail it back to you.

1. Print and fill out the submission form.
2. Mail your script—hard copy only (do not submit as an email attachment)—to:

3. Scripts may be submitted directly by the author, or through an agent. No benefit or “extra points” result from an agent submission; we don’t think less of a play just because it was submitted by the author.

4. Please note we do not return scripts that are sent to us.

Due to the large volume of scripts we review, estimated time to review your work, and decide whether we will do a reading may take as much as five to six months. If we select your work for a reading, we will contact you by phone.
