Young Playwrights of Tucson

The 7th Annual Young Playwrights of Tucson

Live Theatre Workshop is happy to announce our 7th annual playwriting contest for all local students between the grades 6th – 12th for the 2025/2026 school year.  Each year through this program we open up our stage to showcase Tucson’s youth and their talents.  From playwright, to acting, and even behind the scenes!  

On March 6, 2026 we will announce the top plays to be workshopped. These shows will be paired up with some of our very own local seasoned playwrights who mentor our young playwrights to workshop their scripts.   

On Sunday, March 29, 2026 we will have open auditions for students in 6th – 12th grade for actors and tech roles. We will host a one week intensive workshop camp for all student writers, directors,  actors, and technicians, Tuesday, May 26 – Sunday, May 31, 2026 from 8:00am – 4:00pm each day. Our week ends with 3 professional performances on Friday May 29th at 7:00pm, Saturday May 30th at 2:00pm, and Sunday May 31st at 2:00pm.
