Before submitting any material to The Wilma Theater, please read our mission statement and research our production history, which are located on our website. Considering the types of plays we have produced in the past, honestly assess whether or not your play would suit us. Researching the various theaters to which a playwright sends his or her work is important in the long and short run, as different theaters have different missions and therefore seek out material corresponding with those goals. Please think through the true potential of your play at the Wilma, and if it would be a compatible relationship.
