Go Try Play Write April 2025

Website

Deadline: April 30, 2025

SUBMISSION FORM

We're proud to announce a new monthly playwriting contest in collaboration with Bamboo Ridge Press. Every month, Kumu Kahua's artistic director Harry Wong III will select a writing prompt on the first day of that month. 

We're looking for 5-page monologues or 10-page scenes based on that prompt; the due date for submissions are always the last day of the month. 

All entries must be written in traditional play format; instructions on this format can be found here (https://www.dramatistsguild.com/script-formats), courtesy of the Dramatists Guild.

There will be one winner each month. Scripts will be submitted to the judges anonymously. Winners will receive $100 and a subscription to Bamboo Ridge Press. Woo!

The prompt for April 2025 is:

Do opposites attract? Write a 10-page maximum scene of two people on a first date who are polar opposites on the political spectrum. Neither gives an inch on their beliefs, though the temptation to acquiesce and give up one’s beliefs should be powerful.
