Breaking Cover Submissions Open Now! Submit Here
Breaking Cover is a play development series that provides Albertan Playwrights with valuable tools to test their newest work. We are currently soliciting plays for our 5th series, which will span September of 2025 to May of 2026.
Our six-week development process provides a director, cast, mini rehearsal process, and dramaturgical support to your manuscript. It culminates with a public reading in the beautiful Snell Auditorium at the Red Deer Public Library. The reading is followed by a moderated question-and-answer period with your audience, so that you leave with new insight into your play from the inside out.
Submissions will remain open until 11pm on June 23rd, 2025.
To submit your play for consideration, please fill out our submissions form.
Successful Applicants will be contacted by July 1st, 2025.

Who Are We?
The Red Deer Players Society (RDP) is a not-for-profit community theatre group, also registered as a charitable society, based in Red Deer Alberta. We first came together in early 2014 to stage a Reader’s Theatre production. Following this humble beginning, the group moved on to do more serious dramatic theatre productions.
