Calling all young playwrights!
Calling all public, private and homeschool student playwrights!
Pendragon Theatre is now soliciting your submissions for this year's edition of Pendragon Theatre’s Young Playwrights Festival. Participants are encouraged to beat the winter doldrums by letting their imaginations run wild and writing a one-act play that requires no more than four actors and runs no longer than twenty pages (or 20 minutes).
The rules in a nutshell
There are two age groups for playwrights: Grades six through eight & nine through twelve.
Subject matter is up to the playwright. Original themes, adaptations of folk tales and myths, family stories - remember when Grandpa won that prize? - are great fodder for a playwright’s imagination.
Students may work individually or as co-authors.
Plays may be written as part of in class studies or written independently.
Pendragon staff members are available to guide and mentor students through the playwriting process.
Submissions will be read and critiqued by Pendragon associates and other theatre professionals.
Submissions are due no later than May 1, 2022.
The winning play from each category will be produced and presented by Pendragon Theatre on June 11, 2022.
The runners-up from each category will be presented as staged readings that evening as well.
Winning playwrights from each category will receive a monetary award of $200.00
