2013 Write Now New Plays Competition and Workshop

web site

The purpose of this biennial workshop is to encourage writers to create strikingly original scripts for young audiences. Playwrights from across the country are invited to submit scripts for review by a panel of peers.  All submitted scripts will receive constructive feedback at the request of the playwright. 

At least four scripts will be selected as finalists to participate in the full workshop process, which includes a week on site at Childsplay with a development team, followed by a reading of the script at the Write Now gathering (transportation and housing will be provided to the finalists).  Semi-finalists will also be invited to read excerpts from their scripts at the Write Now gathering.

The deadline for script submission for the 2013 Write Now is July 31, 2012.
