Since 2023, Broom Street Theater in Madison, Wisconsin has been road-tripping the United States one region at a time by curating a short play festival featuring stories about each of our “united” states.

  • Mississippi
  • Oklahoma
  • Tennessee
  • Texas

What we’re looking for:

  • Plays should be up to 10 minutes long (shorter is preferred).
  • Stories rooted in, haunted by, or unfolding in one of the states above
  • You don’t have to live there, just bring us a story that belongs there

How to submit:

  • Fill out the Google Form
  • Attach your script to an email and send it to submissions@bstonline.org with the subject line: [State Name] Title of Play
  • (If you can’t use the form, just email the script; the form helps us stay organized)

What you get:
Each selected play will be produced in Madison, Wisconsin as part of Broom Street Theater’s 2027 production of Our Home States. Playwrights will receive a $25 honorarium.

Deadline: February 28, 2027
Playwrights may submit up to two scripts.
