Play Submissions Form - Season 2027-2028

Please submit this form by midnight on 30th September 2026. Entries made after this date will not be accepted. For any issues, please contact productions@cops.org.uk.

We ask that you submit at least two contrasting plays, to allow us to give you the best chance we can, and to provide the best possible season for our audiences. You can submit up to three plays using this form.

Staging - We offer two main staging configuration options - Proscenium Arch & Thrust/In-The-Round. Due to audience accessibility, we can only programme a limited number of Thrust/In-The-Round productions each season, so please carefully consider whether this format is essential for your production.

Your Availability

Please note that the running order of the season is extremely important and therefore giving us the widest possible choice of dates could increase your chances of selection. It is also vital that you inform us if your availability changes, as if we offer you a slot, and you cannot accept it, it is likely that we will not be able to offer an alternative.

Please tick which dates you can do. Please tick all that apply:
