Opportunity for Young Playwrights

VSA Arts Playwright Discovery Program invites middle and high school students to take a closer look at the world around them, examine how disability affects their lives and the lives of others, and express their views through the art of playwriting. Young playwrights with and without disabilities are encouraged to submit a script. Scripts may be based on real life experience or fictional, and may be any genre: comedy, drama, even musical. Entries may be the work of an individual student or a group or class of students.

The winning play will be professionally produced or staged at the John F. Kennedy Center for the performing arts; winning playwright will receive $2,000 and a trip to Washington, DC to see the play performed.

See website for complete guidelines and application. NO FEE. VSA Arts Playwright Discovery Program, 818 Connecticut Ave., NW, Ste. 600, Washington, DC 20006, http://www.vsarts.org/x244.xml.

Receipt Deadline: April 15, 2010
