Announcing Imposters 2025 Mainstage Sketch Show - Writer Submissions
Submissions are due July 16th, 2025 by 5 PM.
Writers who are selected will be notified by July 23rd, 2025.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Submissions are open to anyone, regardless of previous involvement with Imposters Theater.
Your submission packet should include 2-3 sketches and be a maximum of 15 pages in pdf format.
At least 2 sketches should be written for the stage.
To remain anonymous from our submission reviewers, please exclude your name from the contents of your submission packet. The file name should include your first and last name.
Your submission will be reviewed by the artistic director, show director, and industry professionals.
Writers are welcome to audition as actors as long as they can commit to all rehearsal, performance, and writers room obligations.
We are choosing a limited number of writers. We strive to guarantee that everyone has the opportunity to participate at Imposters Theater and we want to stress that submissions and auditions are not the only way to get involved at our theater. If you are not selected as part of this writer’s room, we encourage you to continue attending our free monthly sketch open mic, developing your skills in our classes and workshops, and submitting to community shows like Sketch Battle. See the full list of shows you can submit to here. Payment plans, work-study, and financial aid are available for classes. Email info at imposterstheater.com for more details.
WRITER EXPECTATIONS
The writers room will meet 3 times a month in preparation for each monthly show. Meeting times will be determined based on writer availability.
The commitment is a run of 3 shows. Each monthly show will run approximately 35 minutes and consist of both new material and sketches from the previous month’s show.
Writers with a pattern of poor attendance, tardiness, or lack of preparation will be removed.
Writers must show they are open to notes from the show director and the Artistic Director, and be willing to work at implementing those notes.
Each writer is expected to be a supportive team member and follow our code of conduct.
