Spring/Summer 2022 Show Submission
Arts on the Horizon, a theatre company whose programming is specifically designed for an audience of children ages 0-6, is looking for submissions for an original, nonverbal show that will be produced in Alexandria, VA in late spring/early summer of 2022 as part of the 2021-22 season. We are interested in shows that would be 25-30 minutes in length, designed for children ages 2-5 or 2-6, and created for an outdoor amphitheater in a park. The cast size would preferably be limited to no more than 3 performers (including actors and/or musicians). If you have an idea that includes more than three performers, please feel free to submit your idea – we would love to hear more!
Artists do not need to be local to the DC area to submit. The selected artist will be part of the development of the piece. If they are local, we would love to have them join the process in person. If not local, they will take part in the process via Zoom.
The selected artist will receive a commissioning fee. After the initial run of the production in spring/summer 2022, Arts on the Horizon will pay the playwright a royalty for any future AOTH remounts of the production. The play will remain the property of the selected artist.
To let us know that you are interested in submitting a show idea, please fill out this very short form (it should take no longer than 1 minute to complete).
To submit your full idea, please send over the following by December 31, 2021 through this form.
Submissions will be reviewed and selected by the Arts on the Horizon 2022 programming committee, which is made up of Arts on the Horizon company members, administrative staff members, and freelance artists. Selections will be made by February 1, 2022.
