A LITTLE ABOUT THE SHOW:
Chika never expected to meet something like it. A creature without eyes, without bones, without flesh—something that shouldn’t exist, yet does. Pulled from the sterile walls of her hospital room and into the unknown, she takes the creature home, determined to understand it. But life has a way of unraveling plans. As Chika battles her own struggles, she forgets the silent, hungry thing lurking in the shadows. Forgotten but not gone, the creature learns to survive—by any means necessary.

We accept submissions from both writers and directors working on plays in any stage of development. We can’t wait to read your work, but don’t delay, applications are only open until Sunday, September 7th at 11:59pm EST

Every play and playwright requires something different, so the format and timeline for each project is malleable. Our only requirement is a public sharing of the piece at some point in the process.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE SHOW:
Nicola, Con, Sorel, Paulie, Masha, Devyn, Alex, and Nina are old friends. Every summer they spend a week on Sorel and Paulie’s dock talking about theater and d***s and s*x and aging and the loons that circle below. This is the last summer they’ll ever do this, but they don’t know that yet. Anyway. Tonight Con’s making everyone listen to their new play. (They seem better this year, right?)

A love song to ambition, art-making, and heartbreak, Tremolo is at once a radical q***r reimagining of Chekhov’s “The Seagull” set on the dock of a dark lake; and a singular portrait of an intergenerational found family on the precipice of great loss.

THE BEAUTIFUL LAND I SEEK by Matt Barbot was originally developed right here at Fault Line Theatre through our pipeline: from "Irons in the Fire" in 2022 to a "(plays) In Previews" workshop production in 2023 and now onto the mainstage.

We will raise an additional $50,000 to push this play over the finish line, and we need your support to get there.
