The CP Writers' Group seeks to centralize marginalized voices not only in content but in the process of curation, thus each proposal will be reviewed by a committee.

Each writer will be given a single reading night of their material if chosen.

Each reading will be cast by CP, although writers are welcome to recommend actors for their reading.

If your submission is chosen, you will be offered a date at least two weeks from your time of approval. Should the date proposed not be acceptable, the submission is held for a future date, thus the piece remains "on deck" for a future date.

Once a script is chosen to be read, writers will be invited to meet for a pre-reading conversation. This intake will begin the critical response process that each reading will include- centralizing the writers' needs, specifying questions to frame discussion, and informing our engagement with the material.

Each writer has a MAXIMUM of 30 minutes to present material. This can be a short play or a portion of a longer play. The reading will be followed by 45 minutes of discussion.

Writers are encouraged to invite individuals to join us on the evening of their reading.

The reading "room" will have an established set of guidelines that will frame each reading, providing safety and productivity for the writer and all present.

At this time, all reading nights virtual.
