Bonnie's Column

Call for Scripts!

One of the favorite things we do here at ArtAge is connect playwrights’ creativity with Senior Theatres which are looking for their next big hit. We have begun to work on the next catalog—that means finding shows, from short sketches to 3-act musicals that will stimulate directors and actors as they delight audiences.

We could use your help!

  • Tell us about plays that should be published.
  • Share our information with playwrights who have written a play for Senior Theatre (or let us know who they are).
  • If you have written play, please send it in. Be aware of the November 1 deadline.
  • Help us read and evaluate scripts. (Details below)

Don't worry if you have never been published before. With over 180 playwrights in the collection, we are proud to work with those who are rank beginners to the most skilled professional writers. Thanks to our outstanding community of playwrights, readers, and Senior Theatres across the globe, ArtAge will build on our largest collection of Senior Theatre plays, books, and materials helping even more older actors to fulfill their theatrical dreams.

Yours in Theatre,


Bonnie L. Vorenberg
President, ArtAge Publications' Senior Theatre Resource Center

P.S. To encourage aspiring playwrights, our newly revised TipSheet, Writing Plays for Senior Theatre is on sale. For information about how to submit a play, see our Writers' Guidelines.

Playwrights, rev up your typewriters

We have been accepting plays on a rolling basis for awhile, but now it's time for us to begin the search for the next best hits in Senior Theatre! If you have a script that features older actors living a full, vibrant life, we're interested. See the process here. 

 

Readers needed, too!

We receive many many more scripts than we publish. If you are interested in reading and evaluating plays, let us know! We're going to need help finding the best of the best for our collection.

August Sale!


Recently revised!
Writing Plays for Senior Theatre


Senior Theatre is a unique art form with special requirements -- much more than just setting a play in a retirement community. Learn about the performing companies and their needs, how to shape dialogue, characters, and plots. It will help you create plays that are fun, yet challenging--ones that actors and directors will have a good time producing and audiences will enjoy watching!

Save $5 off the e-document until September 12!
