| WE HAVE GREAT NEWS!! The Playwrights Theater (PWT) Board of Directors (BOD) has been working on a project to promote all plays submitted to our competition to theaters interested in new works. The PWT is proud to announce that we recently reached just such an agreement with the Mesquite Community Theater (MCT) in Dallas. The Mesquite Community Theater seeks new plays to produce in the 2009 season. Under terms of the agreement, select members of the MCT BOD will indicate the type of plays they seek. We will provide them access to plays that meet those requirements. All plays submitted to our competition will automatically be considered whether or not they are finalists. We hope that this will be the first of many such relations with theater groups. Please review our detailed requirements by clicking on this link! |
| PLAYS WE WILL ACCEPT: Plays must not have received a full production before a paying audience. We leave the selection of the subject matter to the writer. What we seek are plays that substantially reflect the issues and concerns of our age. |
| USING THIS SITE: Both reviewers and playwrights will 'Sign In' to this website through personal accounts we will create for them. [Notice the Sign In button at the top of the screen?] Reviewers will access and evaluate submissions online. [Want to become a Reviewer?] In like manner, playwrights will be able to track the status of their play(s). Additionally, whenever a play fails to advance, an automated notification will be emailed to the playwright. [That is the reason you should keep your profile up to date.] By logging in, a playwright will be able to immediately access the entire evaluation form the reviewer(s) completed. This will shorten significantly the long interval between the time a play is submitted and a winner is announced. |
