Play Submissions
Pavement Group accepts unsolicited submissions from playwrights whose work is in keeping with our our mission. We are particularly interested in young writers and writers of color. In an attempt to minimize our environmental footprint as a company, Pavement Group accepts electronic submissions. Email a 10-page dialogue sample from your un-produced full-length play in PDF format to our literary department. In the body of your cover email, please include a character breakdown, a one-paragraph synopsis, and an explanation of how your play fits Pavement Group's mission.
If you prefer to submit the old fashioned way, please send non-returnable copies of these materials to:
Pavement Group
324 W Willow St, 3F
Chicago, IL 60614
Response time is approximately six months. Thanks for your patience. Thanks for writing plays. Keep doing it. We need you.
