In The Works
In The Works is our ongoing virtual play reading series. This opportunity is available for any and all plays that are still in process - fully published and produced plays will not be considered. This continuous series aims to provide playwrights with the chance to hear their plays aloud, to receive feedback on their work in a constructive environment, and to share a space with actors and network while developing new work! Since this process is done completely virtually, this opportunity is available to playwrights and actors regardless of location.
Due to overwhelming submissions, playwright submissions are temporarily closed as of May 2026. We anticipate reopening them in September. Actor auditions are still open and reviewed regularly.
Playwright Submission Form - Temporarily Closed
Please note: While our hope is to eventually produce readings for all plays submitted to us, Amalgamation reserves the right to deny plays that do not align with our artistic vision, mission statement, or values.

“Haley Arnold and Madeline Burk ran a thoughtful, well-organized session with engaged readers and excellent discussion afterward. They asked insightful questions, created a welcoming atmosphere, and made the entire experience enjoyable from beginning to end.
If you’re a playwright looking for opportunities to hear your work aloud and receive meaningful feedback, I’d definitely encourage you to keep an eye on what Amalgamation Theatre Collective is doing. They clearly care about new plays and the writers behind them.”
