Tell us a great story in ten minutes and you'll get the chance to see your work performed on our stage.

Playwrights whose scripts are selected will be encouraged to
participate in rehearsal and to work collaboratively with the

the stage.

Playwrights also are welcome to participate in a Writer's Workshops to be held at The Barn Theatre on Saturday, August 2nd from 10:00am to Noon.
