4th Annual Young Playwrights of Tucson Competition
Live Theatre Workshop is happy to announce our 4th annual playwriting contest for all local students between the grades 6th - 12th. We are looking for original short plays of any genre no more than 7 pages in length. Submissions are due Friday, February 3, 2023.
On March 3, 2023 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 will help our young playwrights workshop their scripts.
On Sunday, April 2, 2023 we will have open auditions for students in 6th - 12th grade to perform or be a technician for one of our top shows which will be showcased at the beginning of summer. We will host a one week intensive workshop camp for all writers, actors, and technicians to put these showcases together. This will happen Tues, May 30 - Sun, June 3 8:00am - 4:00pm and shows are Saturday, June 3 at 2:00pm and Sunday, June 4 at 11:00am.
Guidelines for Submission
- To submit your short play please send a PDF to Live Theatre Workshop’s Director of Children’s Programming, Amanda Gremel, at Amanda.g@livetheatreworkshop.org no later than Friday, Feb 3, 2023 by midnight.
- In your email please provide your name, age, school, contact information, and a PDF version of your script attached to the email.
- With your script you must provide a cover page that includes the title, descriptions of each character, and 3-5 sentences describing plot. (Cover page is not included in the page limit)
- Most importantly your name cannot appear on your script. All our judges will be scoring each play without knowing who the playwright is or where they are from.
- Your script can be any genre, no more than 7 pages, and no more than 8 roles in your script.
- We want you to feel free in your writing but we do ask that you keep an eye on foul language. Any script with extreme bad language will not be considered for showcase.
Please contact Amanda Gremel if you have any questions.
Now open up your creativity and start writing!
