A link will come with upcoming blasts as well as be on our website at https://www.roundthebendtheatre.org/. It will open Monday November 9th and close when full.

Please look at our website to learn a little about us. We are open to plays of all genres - Including screenplays. We are interested in plays that have not been produced. Selected plays will receive readings in various locations in Ulster & Greene Counties June - August 2027.
We will begin accepting submissions Monday, November 9, 2026. The first 80 submissions will be accepted. (Please note that last year we had filled our submissions by 3:00pm) We are selecting 6 scripts.
Your submission should include:

If the play is of interest and we feel RTB can give it a solid hearing, a full script will be requested.
