- Cast: No more than 4 actors & at least an equal amount of female roles
- Set: Needs to be written for, or realistically doable with, a basic set-up

- Scripts must be submitted in word or pdf format only. Scripts submitted in other formats will not be considered.
- Writers of any background and experience are welcome to apply.
