DOUBLE FEATURE
Heller Theatre Company presents Double Feature! at the Lynn Riggs Theater, in partnership with OKEQ. Two one-act scripts are chosen to be paired together, presented March 7th-9th
REQUIREMENTS
Scripts must be approximately 45-60 minutes in length.
DEADLINE
Scripts should be submitted by December 15th for consideration. Our reading committee will make selections by January 1st, and auditions will be held on January 14th. Playwrights are not required to attend auditions or rehearsals, though we prefer the playwright be present for at least one rehearsal, in person or via Zoom.
Please email all submissions to hellershorts@gmail.com, with a separate title page so that your script can be judged anonymously.
Fostering and encouraging local playwrights is deep in Heller Theatre Company's DNA. In the 2019-20 Season alone, we produced more than 50 original works of all lengths by local writers. You can get in on the action by submitting your works for consideration.
Heller is a local theatre company that focuses on serving the greater Oklahoma area. Playwrights must currently reside within Oklahoma or a bordering state (OK, AR, TX, NM, CO, KS, or MO.)

Second Sunday Serials
In Second Sunday Serials, playwrights tell a story one month at a time. Each month, 5 short plays are performed; the Top 3 (as voted by the audience) advance to the next month, where the audience will see what happens next in each story alongside 2 new serials. All playwrights whose scripts are read receive a royalty for each month and continuing playwrights must submit the next installment by the first Sunday of each month until the story is wrapped up or they are no longer voted forward.
Scripts must run no longer than 10 minutes (8 pages in standard Dramatist Guild format); longer scripts will not be considered. Scripts should tell a contained story with a clear story arc (beginning, middle, and end) and contribute to a larger narrative. Scripts should rely on compelling, three-dimensional characters and engaging dialogue to tell the story. Scripts should contain minimal stage directions.
Submissions can be made at any time to secsunsersub@gmail.com and join us on the Second Sunday of every month (September through May) at 7:00PM at Studio 308 (308 S. Lansing Ave.) to watch the shows and cast your vote!
