Kumu Kahua Theatre and Bamboo Ridge Press Seeking Playwrights For GO TRY PLAYWRITE February 2024 Contest

Kumu Kahua Theatre, in collaboration with Bamboo Ridge Press have announced that they are seeking playwright's entries for the February prompt for their monthly play writing contest, Go Try PlayWrite.

Thanks to a generous donation from an anonymous donor, contest winners in 2024 will receive a $100.00 check as well as a subscription to Bamboo Ridge Press.

The prompt for the month of February 2024 is: 

A romantic interloper prompt.  Write a ten (10) page maximum scene or a six (6) page maximum monologue of a bouquet of flowers sabotaging an otherwise romantic date.  The bouquet may act out of malice, or unintentionally, but the bouquet ruins a romantic situation.

Each month entrants must write a 5-page monologue and/or a 10-page scene based on monthly requirements. Each month a new prompt will be chosen by Kumu Kahua Theatre's Artistic Director, Harry Wong III. The prompt will be given on or by the 1st of the month and the due date will always be the last day of the month. 

All entries must be written in traditional play format; instructions on this format can be found here: https://www.dramatistsguild.com/script-formats courtesy of the Dramatists Guild. 

There will be one winner each month. Scripts will be submitted to the judges anonymously. Each month Judges are selected from among the many talented theatre practitioners in the Hawaii theatre community.
