The Geneva Theatre Guild is excited to continue on with its annual Playwrights' Play Readings event! The performances will be April 25-27, 2025 at several venues around Geneva. 

​​

GTG aims to bring ALL kinds of theatre to the Geneva area in the Finger Lakes Region of New York - including new, original works! Each year, we put out an "open call" for amateur playwrights to submit their unpublished works of short plays - all plays submitted should be timed at no more than 30 minutes (approximately 25-28 pages). The event has gained an international reputation and we have to cap our submissions at 120 short plays on a first-come-first-serve submission basis! When that cap is reached, the rigorous selection process of anonymous readers begins. During this review process, playwrights' names are removed from the scripts to avoid any bias and each script is read by at least 4 volunteer readers. When all scripts have been reviewed the required amount of times, 5 to 6 of the highest-rated entries are performed in a series of script-in-hand staged readings by local actors at venues all over the Geneva area!

​

In this grass-roots theatre project, you can be a featured playwright, an actor, a director, or part of our beloved audience - a true testament to the community theatre process!

​

STAY TUNED to get more information on the 2025 call for submissions in February, how to be a part of the selection process, opportunities for directing, dates and times for our open auditions in March, and the venues for the performances in April!​​
