Submissions are open for the 2025 Chicago Musical Theatre Festival (CMTF), produced by Kokandy Productions!

Now in its 8th year, CMTF was created with the belief that there’s a wealth of musical theatre creators in Chicago and around the country, but the high risks of producing new musicals offers limited opportunities for emerging authors to have their work seen and heard. CMTF is designed to provide much-needed artistic resources for writers to have their work supported, explored, and most importantly – performed!

TO APPLY: Submission guidelines, FAQs and applications can be found through this link.

The deadline for submissions is Sunday, February 2, 2025. There is no fee to apply for or participate in the Festival. Finalists will be announced in early March 2025.
