Play Proposal Form

Play selection is a competitive process and prospective productions are encouraged to send other materials to Risley Theatre Subcommitee to encourage the selection of their show. All other materials may be sent to risleytheatre@cornell.edu or may be brought to Risley Theatre Subcommittee before the proposal deadline.

If you would like feedback from the staff on your play proposal before actually submitting it, please fill out this form, and send it as an attachment to risleytheatre@cornell.edu with the subject line "Feedback Requested on Play Proposal: YOUR PLAY NAME HERE". Please send this in at least 5 days in advance of the deadline. Feedback will be given within 3 days of your email. This will not take the place of the proposal. You must still submit a proposal online for your play to be considered.
