MACH 33: The Caltech│Pasadena Playhouse Festival of New Science-Driven Plays energizes the conversations about scientific, mathematical, and technological questions by staging readings of new, unpublished, unproduced science-based plays. The readings are open to the public and present a discussion with Caltech/JPL scientific panelists after the show. Our casts and crews feature professional actors and directors as well as students and members of the Caltech/JPL community. Festival playwrights have the unique opportunity to work with science advisors from Caltech and JPL throughout the academic year. We are particularly excited to receive submissions from women playwrights and playwrights of color.

The deadline for submissions is October 15, 2019. Send to Associate Artistic Director of the festival Arden Thomas at [email protected]. One or two plays from Los Angeles area playwrights will be chosen for this year's festival.
