Credit: Courtesy Image \/ Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center<\/p>\n<p>San Antonio\u2019s Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center has opened submissions for the Teatro Sal\u00f3n Table Reading Series. <\/p>\n<p>The series allows Texas playwrights to test out their work and receive constructive criticism from their peers and the public via a well-rehearsed open stage reading, according to organizers. The deadline to submit unproduced scripts is 4 p.m. March 31. <\/p>\n<p>The Guadalupe will select a pool of two to three scripts from the submissions for a reading in the August-September time frame. To date, the series has culminated in two full theatrical productions: La Ni\u00f1a Girasol by J. Cesar Duenas (June 2022) and Las Comadres de Morales Street by Irene Chavez (March 2025). <\/p>\n<p>The call is open to all established and non-established writers in the Lone Star State. While writers of all genres are welcome to submit scripts, the theme must reflect the Latinx, Chicanx or Tejano experience.<\/p>\n<p>To submit a script, please include a cover letter with title, playwright\u2019s name and short bio, contact information, a brief synopsis and character descriptions to Jorge Pi\u00f1a, GCAC Theater Arts Director, 723 S. Brazos St, San Antonio, TX 78207 or jorgep@guadalupeculturalarts.org.
