While Lunchbox Theatre is mostly interested in plays with an emphasis on humour, we are also interested in explorations of ethno-Canadian lifestyles, docu-dramas, revues, small-scale musicals and other innovative forms. You may submit as many ideas as you like. You may submit an idea for a new play, or one which you have already begun work on, but we cannot accept outlines for scripts that have been previously workshopped or produced. The status of your play must be clearly indicated within your submission! All applicants must be over 18 years of age and must be Canadian citizens.

If your proposal is selected We will offer you a commissioning fee to work on your play, with the end result of participation in a workshop at Lunchbox Theatre for a minimum of six days in the spring of 2001. Travel and Accommodation will be provided for all out-of-town playwrights. Following the workshop, your play will be considered for possible inclusion in Lunchbox Theatre’s regular season.
