Write On! Annual Young Playwrights' Competition
Every year, we a number of student playwrights to develop a new ten-minute play at Hartford Stage. Winners work with a professional playwright to polish their scripts and see real actors perform their play as part of Hartford Stage’s annual Brand:NEW Fall Festival of New Work.
It starts with an idea…
To enter the Write On! contest, all you need is an idea. If your idea is chosen, we’ll help with the rest. This year's theme is SNAP.
Give us your idea for a 10-minute play. Include characters, setting, and as much of the story as you can — beginning, middle, and end. You can fill out the entry form online or download it and mail it in.
You may enter as many times as you wish, but please, only one idea per entry form. Entries may be in English or Spanish.
Ready to enter? Fill out our online entry form, or download a paper form and send it in!
Deadline for entry is July 1, 2008.
