Full length and one-act play submissions for next season are now closed
Ten-minute plays may still be submitted.
First Run Theatre accepts submissions for full length plays each year, for possible production the following season.  As we are changing our traditional season dates, beginning with the 2018-19 season, the deadline for script submission was extended to 28 February 2018. 

Ten Minute plays may still be submitted for the coming season, no deadline having yet been set. 

Full length plays may still be submitted, but will be deferred to the 2019-20 season.

Where St. Louis Theatre comes to create!

"If you're hunting for a theater that accepts inquiries only from St. Louis area writers, or that notes a special interest in Missouri-Illinois authors...look, let's put it this way: [Until now] you're not going to [find it in St. Louis]. Now, however, a new organization hopes to change the situation. First Run Theatre...solicit[s] new plays by St. Louis area writers with the intention of producing two of them [in 2003], more in years ahead."
- Judith Newmark, Theatre Critic for the St. Louis Post Dispatch

"First Run Theatre represents the kind of performing arts activities which can truly enrich our community. I am pleased to be involved with First Run Theatre and encourage others to fully support this outstanding theatre group."
- Mayor Diehlman of Creve Coeur
