The
Playwrights Collective
of The Brookfield Theatre for the Arts
is pleased to announce
The Second Annual
The Playwrights Collective Competition
An exciting playwriting
contest opportunity
for plays that have already had a non-professional production!
Playwrights entering the contest
must be a resident of:
one of the New England States
New York
New Jersey,
or
Pennsylvania
The Playwrights Collective is seeking for its competition new and original plays which have already had a non-professional production, a staged reading, or a reading. The idea behind this is to provide another forum for quality scripts which are not well-known, as well as to expose our audiences to a higher caliber of theatrical experience. The Brookfield Theatre for the Arts is located in Brookfield, CT, adjacent to the arts-rich northwestern section of the state, home of the Litchfield Jazz Festival, the Warner Theatre, The Nutmeg Ballet Company, and numerous art galleries.
|
Entries must be new, original full-length
plays which HAVE previously had a non-professional production,
reading, or staged reading within the past five years. |
|
NO musicals, children's, adaptations or translations,
one-acts. |
|
Cast limited to no more than 8 characters. |
|
Chosen scripts will receive a reading at the Brookfield
Theatre for the Arts in Brookfield, CT throughout the 2003-2004 season. A
talk-back will follow each reading. Playwrights are encouraged to
attend the reading of their plays. |
|
Of the chosen scripts a first place prize of $300 will be awarded after all of the plays have had a reading. The winning first place play will receive a staged reading in the fall of 2004 at The Brookfield Theatre for the Arts. |
