Our opportunities for productions are:
WordPlay – Every semester NOMADS pairs 3-6 undergraduate writers with Columbia graduate student mentors to workshop one of their pieces to be presented in a festival of readings toward the end of the semester. WordPlay is a great opportunity for writers who are still in the process of developing or refining a piece. The dates for WordPlay are to be determined, but will likely be in the later half of the semester. If chosen, NOMADS will work with you to find a director and actors for the reading. Mainstage – NOMADS has a slot available for a production in The Glicker-Milstein Theatre. This production involves fully developed design elements, rehearsal process, and staging. If you are primarily interested in submitting for the GMT slot, you are encouraged (but not required) to include in your submission other members of the team (director, stage manager, etc.) if you have them. In addition to these two submission routes above, NOMADS has, on occasion, also produced other work as a “Special Project.” This often takes the form of staged readings with minimal production elements. Special Projects are not a usual occurrence, but under certain circumstances, it is a possibility of production. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I submit for both the Mainstage slot and WordPlay?
Yes, you can absolutely submit to both! If you select "both" on the google form, we will assume that the Mainstage slot is your first choice.
My script isn't finished. Can I still submit?
We welcome scripts in all stages of the process. If you submit an incomplete script, we only ask that you provide some sort of outline or plan for the remainder of your script (particularly for the ending). We also rarely consider incomplete scripts for our Mainstage slot as that process involves more people and is geared towards a complete and fully realized production and thus tends to move at a faster pace.
If accepted, can I still change my script?
Absolutely! For our WordPlay scripts, we encourage revision and change! For our Mainstage production, we'll figure out a "freeze date" (i.e. day for the final, frozen draft) to allow actors to memorize lines and the director and designers to really cement their work. But otherwise, you're free to edit, add, or remove whatever you like!
Wait, I have more questions not answered here!
