FAQ:

Q: What kind of plays are you looking for?
A: We tend towards comic-dramas about relationships, but we will consider anything that makes the ink jump off the page

Q: Any cast size limitations?
A: We produce work in intimate theaters. A cast that exceeds seven players would pose a logistic challenge, but is not out of the question

Q: Do you do musicals?
A: Not yet. If you think we need to, talk to us at inquiries [at] kidswithguns.com

Q: What do you mean by new plays?
A: Ideally, you just typed (End of play.) two minutes ago. We like works-in-progress, too. Send us the first twenty pages and let us know that you’re still working on the third act. In any case, please don’t send us a play that has already enjoyed a full production (staged readings are okay though)

Q: What constitutes a full-length play?
A: Gosh. Not less than 60 pages, right?
