Caltech Theater announces the Call for Submissions of new plays for the 9th annual MACH 33: The Caltech Festival of New Science-Driven Plays on March 7, and 8, 2025!

MACH 33: The Caltech Festival of New Science-Driven Plays energizes the conversations about scientific, mathematical, and technological questions by staging readings of new, unpublished, unproduced plays.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 actors, students, and members of the Caltech/JPL community. Our festival playwrights have the unique opportunity to work with science advisors from Caltech and JPL to develop the science in their plays.

The deadline for submissions is August 15, 2024. Send to Associate Artistic Director of the festival Arden Thomas at arden.e.thomas@gmail.com, and be sure to put Mach 33 in the subject heading. Click here for guidelines for submission.
