PlayFest is seeking new full-length plays and musicals based on, or inspired by works of classic literature, or historic events and/or persons and profound advancements in science. These need not be limited to prior to the 21st Century, nor need they be completely based in reality. We prefer plays that require six actors or less (but are not adamant about that cast size), and have a particular interest in one-person shows. However, even in the case of one person shows, we are not looking for history lectures, or museum piece adaptations that are faithful to a fault, but rather dynamic new theatrical versions of classic stories that speak to the contemporary mindset.

We are also seeking new Musicals and Musical adaptations. The above requirements for mission and theme still apply.

We are also actively soliciting works by Hispanic authors (or subject matter) for our Hispanic Initiative. Works submitted must be written in English. These works too should be inspired by works of classic literature and/or historic events and persons. Past Hispanic Initiative participants include Elaine Romero, Ricky J. Martinez, and Miami's New Theatre.
