CALL FOR ENTRIES!
A call for entries for theREP’s Young Playwright Contest
Capital Repertory Theatre to produce five 10-minute plays by teens, for teens, staring teens.
Capital Repertory Theatre announces a call for entries for their second annual Young Playwright Contest. Contest winners will see their work produced on theREP’s stage, performed by the Summer Stage Young Acting Company, a company comprised of young aspiring actors serious about dramatic works.
The five contest-winning plays will be professionally produced on theREP’s stage, with costumes, props and a set designed and built by theREP’s staff, and using a company of 15-20 young actors.
In addition to the production of their plays, the five contest-winning playwrights will receive a mentorship with a professional playwright in June 2016. During these mentorship sessions, the young playwrights will work on their script to learn and grow from a professional in the field.
Playwrights will also receive an invitation to the first read through of their plays by theREP’s Summer Stage Young Acting Company, and will be invited into the rehearsal room to be a part of the process – bringing their words to life, from the page onto the stage.
