We’ve moved into our initial evaluation and selection phase. All writers who submitted entries for consideration will receive confirmation of receipt in early September. Winning submissions will be announced in February 2025.
Thank you for your work, and we look forward to seeing you at the theater!
Evaluation & Guidelines
1. Submissions will be accepted until midnight on September 1, 2024. Submissions received after September 1 will not be considered for the Festival.
2. Winning scripts will be announced on our website in February 2025. Winning playwrights will be notified via email or phone on or before this time.
Screening: Each application will be screened for eligibility (title page and script in requested format).
Evaluation: Each script is read and evaluated by at least two first-round readers. Based on evaluations, up to 30 monologues will be considered by a second panel of 12-15 readers.
Selection: Based on evaluations and reader discussions, twelve monologues will be selected for performance in the Festival.
Feedback: Due to the volume of scripts submitted, we are unable to offer feedback for this project.
