PURE Lab
Fueling the Future of Theatre
PURE Lab is the creative engine of PURE Theatre—a dynamic incubator where bold ideas, fresh voices, and groundbreaking stories take shape. Dedicated to playwrights and the development of new work, PURE Lab is a space where scripts are nurtured, risks are encouraged, and theatrical boundaries are pushed.
Some of our most celebrated productions, including two of PURE’s highest-grossing shows, began as PURE Lab projects—proof that original, world-premiere works don’t just belong on our stage; they thrive here. Through workshops, readings, and close collaboration between playwrights, directors, and actors, we ensure that each story is given the development it deserves to evolve into a fully realized production.
PURE Lab isn’t just about developing plays—it’s about shaping the future of theatre, one daring new work at a time.
SUBMISSION POLICY
PURE Theatre produces riveting stories rendered theatrically. We are keenly interested in that rare work—naturalistic, abstract, fanciful—that explodes on stage in an unforgettable experience for our audience. Finally, we’re looking for—but are not limited to—emerging playwrights living in the Southeast.
PURE Theatre does not accept unsolicited manuscripts. Playwrights interested in having their work considered should send a brief email of inquiry to submissions@puretheatre.org. Please include the following information:
- Title
- Brief synopsis
- Number of characters
- Prior production history, and a list outstanding rights or encumbrances
- Brief bio of the playwright
