Tips for Success!
-
We strongly encourage playwrights to submit a script that aligns with Pony World Theatre’s mission, style, and aesthetics. If you are not familiar with PWT and our production history, we encourage you to spend some time looking through our past shows (visible here: https://www.ponyworld.org/productions) and reading some articles or reviews.
-
While not a requirement for these submissions, PWT does place extra value on stories and scripts that incorporate an interactive or immersive element.
