New for this month, we have created another version of the spreadsheet. Instead of listing the opportunities altogether, we have divided them into four categories: Plain Script Submissions (Reading/Performance Opportunities); Development Opportunities and Residencies; Show submissions (Fringe/Fringe-like festivals); and Other opportunities (including but not limited to print and online publications, awards/prizes, audio/radio opportunities). You can download the new version by clicking below.
