Literary and Artistic Development

Two River Theater Company produces classics, contemporary plays, and world premieres and is committed to supporting the voices, ambitions and visions of theater artists.  We are committed to the full range of new-play development and production. We believe that the writer is the central, generative artist of the theater, and actively seek out new works by playwrights; composers, lyricists and librettists; and translators and adaptors of classics.

Our first priority in reading scripts will be writers we know and agent submissions. If you wish to submit an unsolicited script, please send a synopsis and 10-page sample. The average response time for submissions is six to eight months. Scripts and CDs will be returned when there is a SASE enclosed; those without a SASE will be recycled.

Scripts should be sent by email or hard copy to Stephanie Coen, Associate Artistic Director, at scoen@trtc.org or Two River Theater Company, 21 Bridge Avenue, Red Bank NJ 07701.

For information about professional opportunities and resources for playwrights, translators, composers, lyricists and librettists around the country, we recommend Dramatists Sourcebook, compiled and published by Theatre Communications Group (www.tcg.org).
