| The James Sunwall New Comedy Prize Acrosstown Repertory Theatre |
James Sunwall Comedy Prize Acrosstown Repertory Theatre P.O. Box 12246 Gainesville, FL 32604 |
CANCELLED...This is from the coordinator: Unfortunately I must announced that the 2008 Sunwall Comedy Prize Competition for 2008 has been cancelled. Due to the economic environment and other considerations, we cannot commit to bringing the playwright into Gainesville for a staged reading of the play in the summer of 2009, therefore we have made the difficult decision to cancel the competition for this year. We hope that we will be able to continue it in the future. Sarah Bewley, Coordinator http://www.acrosstown.org/sunwall.htm SarahBewley@sarahbewley.com | |||

| The Castillo Theatre Political Playwriting Contest UPDATED |
Castillo Theatre ATTN: Political Playwriting Contest 543 West 42nd Street New York, NY 10036 |
The Castillo Theatre believes that theatre, at its best, is a playground of the social imagination. But in the sandbox of the American stage, our play has for too long been constrained by financial concerns dictated by a conservative political and cultural environment. There have been few forums for playwrights and plays that push the political and cultural envelope. The purpose of the Mario Fratti-Fred Newman Political Playwriting Contest is to encourage the writing of such plays and to provide a stage for scripts that, due to their progressive/radical and experimental vantage point(s), would not otherwise be produced. The contest is looking for scripts for the stage that engage the political/social/cultural questions impacting on the world today. The plays should not have been previously produced, and may be in any style, set in any historical time or location, contain any number of characters, and be of any producible length. The plays must be in English and, due to production limitations, no musicals can be considered. Questions and inquiries should be addressed to Dan Friedman, dramaturg, via email: castillo@allstars.org | |||
