  • Playwright Competition & TAG Young Playwrights Festival

TAG - The Actors’ Group,
in collaboration with
VSA arts of Hawaii-Pacific,
announces
The 2010 VSA Playwright Competition
&
TAG Young Playwrights Festival

TAG – The Actors’ Group & VSA arts of Hawaii-Pacific invites middle and high school students to take a closer look at the world around them, examine how DISABILITIES affect their lives and the lives of others, and express their views through the art of playwriting. Playwrights may write from their own experience or about an experience in the life of another person or fictional character.

Young playwrights with and without disabilities are encouraged to submit a script. Entries may be the work of an individual student or collaboration by a group or class of students. Teacher and/or adult assistance is allowed. All entries must be one-act plays of fewer than 40 pages in length. Target audience can be children, teenagers or adults. Scripts can be comedies, dramas, or even musicals—be creative!

A selection of the entries will be professionally produced and staged on TAG’s main stage in August 2010 as a part of the TAG Young Playwrights Festival.

One play will be selected for entry in the VSA arts Playwright Discovery Call for Scripts National Competition. The play that wins the national competition will be produced or staged at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The Kennedy Center will award the winning playwright $2,000 and a trip to Washington, D.C., to see his or her play performed.

In order to be considered for both the competition and the festival, all plays must be received by TAG on or before April 1, 2010.
