Welcome to tranScript productions
tranScript is a Chicago-based production company primarily consisting of transgender and nonbinary artists cultivating a space for ourselves to create. To take up space. To speak and be heard in our entirety.
Support our Gofundme for 2026
Help fund trans and nonbinary art! tranScript productions will be producing a staged reading at the Understudy Coffee and Books in Chicago on October 11th, 2025. This reading, aimed at developing new works that center trans/nb stories, will be our first in-person project after our inaugural new play festival, Technicolor Play Festival, this past June. We're dedicated to paying theater-makers for their work, and we need your help to make that happen.
Donations to tranScript will help fund:
- Performance space rental: ($166)
- Artist stipends: ($30-50 each: up to 8 actors, playwright, director, stage manager)
- Rehearsal space rental: (TBD)
- Videographer fee: (TBD)
- Any other unforeseen expenditures
As of the initial date of publication, script submissions are still open. Playwrights can see our submission guidelines on our guidelines page. Your donations will help us figure out how big a cast we can accommodate for this reading. We'll post updates once we have a script!
Any additional funds will go towards funding more projects in 2026, including helping us keep Technicolor Play Festival an annual endeavor.
