Calling all playwrights: Summer Season 2014 Open to Submission

Moonlit Wings Productions, leading theatre-for-youth outside the Nation’s Capital, seeks new scripts for plays and musicals suitable for ages 7-15 to workshop and produce this summer in the National Capital Area.

ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION
Since 2008, MWP has mounted over 26 world-premieres of new theatre-for-youth workshop productions every summer. This summer we are selecting 4 brand-new shows to workshop and produce. Each show rehearses for 2-weeks with a professional director, choreographer, & tech director/stage manager and concludes with a public performance at the end of each session. Playwrights are given a thorough production review from the creative team and the chance to debut and promote their work with our leading youth arts organization. This is our 7th year in partnership with the Fairfax County Park Authority, the 6th largest county in the USA, located in the National Capital Area.
