The screening process will take place in the month of October, wherein a 2-member screening panel will visit different cities across the country, watch every registered play and provide the teams with detailed feedback about their play.

In the first week of November, Thespo will shortlist the best full-length plays of the year which will then be showcased at the festival in December. The shortlisted teams will also be provided with expert guidance and feedback by experienced theatre practitioners in the month of November.
