THE PLAYWRIGHTS' REVOLUTION 
As Sacramento's leader of bold, thought-provoking theatre, Capital Stage created the PLAYWRIGHTS' REVOLUTION to identify and develop exciting new plays and playwrights. These new works are brought to theatrical life through a series of staged readings performed by professional actors in Capital Stage's intimate theatre. Capital Stage invites audiences and playwrights to take part in the development process by attending readings and participating in post-reading discussions.
QUALIFICATIONS
Capital Stage is particularly interested in plays that fulfill our mission to bring bold, thought-provoking work to the region. Plays must be full-length in any genre: comedy, drama, musical, etc. Translations, collections of one-acts, children's plays and any play that has received a full-scale, professional production prior to submission are not eligible. Plays that have had a workshop, reading or non-professional production are still eligible. Only one submission per playwright is allowed each year.
