OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
Denver Center for the Performing Arts Casting Statement
The Denver Center intends to lead all decisions from selecting each play to the final bow, with empathy and respect. We acknowledge that race, gender, ethnicity and physical abilities of the actors on stage have meaning and we want to be mindful of that throughout our practices. Our casting process will be led with thoughtfulness and appreciation of the artists we encounter and any level of discrimination will not be tolerated. We do not want to assume that the space you are entering or have entered is fully inclusive of your needs, but instead want to create an environment and expand our conditions that allows for your multi-faceted personhood to thrive and feel welcome.

We are currently taking a pause with our submission process, as we reimagine both our literary department and submissions procedures. We will update this page once a new process is determined.
In regards to former submissions, due to the volume of inquiries that we’ve received, we do not have the capacity to respond to every query. We appreciate your patience as we read every submission and give each script careful consideration. A member of our staff will reach out if we have interest in further discussing your submission.
If you have questions for our literary department, please email us at literary@dcpa.org.
SUBMIT A PLAY
We accept unproduced original, full-length plays and musicals, which must be submitted by a literary agent. Playwrights residing in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, or Utah may send plays directly without an agent. We have a special interest in plays written by and for diverse voices, plays written by women playwrights and we are also interested in plays written for young audiences. Adaptations will be considered if you have secured underlying rights. Scripts may be sent by email or mail without prior synopsis or dialogue samples.
