In case you missed it, one of our very own is co-starring in “Talley’s Folly” by Lanford Wilson on San Juan!

Carrie started acting in 2024 as "Clara" in our production of Crazy Quilts, then as "Drew" in Lagging Fall and most recently as "Partner" in Life Love & Death in 2025. They also wrote Please Hold, which we produced in 2025. This their first full length play, and there are two more weekends to see it! Do yourself a favor and go!

Break a leg, Carrie!

CALLING ALL STORYTELLERS!

Lopez Original Theater is looking for short plays (8-30 page scripts) for our annual fall production of one acts!

Our submission window opens Monday May 11th and will run through Friday, June 5th.

We are dedicated to producing work by and for residents of the North Salish Sea region of Washington State. Our reach extends south to Tacoma and north to the Canadian border.

All submissions will be considered, though we gravitate toward plays that make audiences feel something powerful: evoking self reflection, joy, catharsis, wonder and conversation.

Please send entries to [email protected]. Entries this year must be blind, in PDF format, with no playwright information on the play itself. Please send an additional PDF with your contact information and the name of your play.

We are not accepting full lengths at this time but stay tuned for future opportunities!

We look forward to reviewing your work and telling our stories!

With joy and theater magic,

The LOT Team
