Saltland Production Info

For its inaugural presentation, taking place from April 25th to May 7th of 2023, the SALTLAND Theatre Festival seeks to showcase theatrical productions that create new experiences for audiences of all ages in Central New York. Festival productions will be a mix of brand new works and innovative re-tellings of previously produced work. We are especially excited to receive production submissions that embody narratives written, directed, performed by, and about, historically underrepresented individuals, as well as work that speaks to theatre for young audiences and community engaged works.

Theatre productions accepted into the SALTLAND Theatre Festival will have the option to also be included in a curation of other forms of art (e.g., spoken word, podcasts, book readings) to explore the crossroads where Art intersects. The hope is to have the venues that house each of the theatrical productions to also host other forms of art that speak to similar themes as the theatrical productions selected for the festival to engage audiences in a conversation about art.

Submissions close 11:59pm ET on February 1, 2023.

No submission fee.
Performance spaces for productions during their assigned performance times.
- Spaces will seat between 50-100 audience members.
After ticketing fees, split ticket sales with 80% of earnings going to the production team and 20% of earnings being retained by the festival to cover expenses. (We anticipate an average ticket price of $15.)
Box office services.
Area-wide festival promotion.

Fully produced shows of any size that would suit a black-box style, intimate, or non-traditional performance space venue.

Productions that can conform to 30-minute load-in/load-out timeframes.
Each production will be asked to complete a minimum of three performances throughout the duration of the Festival.
Production teams will advertise their performances and the larger festival to their communities of fans.

To be considered, all submissions must be received no later than 11:59pm ET on February 1, 2023. Submissions will be reviewed by committee and selected productions will be notified no later than February 28, 2023.

We understand that your production may still be in development, so please do your best to accurately answer the submission questions, but know that we understand that performances may be “untitled” for now or that the script may change. Know that the more detail you are able to provide in your application, the clearer picture we will have about what you are producing, better enabling us to determine if your production is a good fit for the Festival. Shows that are selected to be included in the festival will need to provide a final script to the festival team no later than April 1, 2023.

As with all productions, teams will need to demonstrate that they have usage rights to produce a show before being accepted into the SALTLAND Theatre Festival.
