Courthouse Center Accepts Submissions For Young Playwrights Fest Through 4/20

The Courthouse Center for the Arts is thrilled to be accepting submissions for our Young Playwrights Festival. Any student from Kindergarten to Twelfth Grade may submit an original script no later than 4 pm on April 20, 2009.

Scripts may be no longer than approximately 20 minutes long and may not feature more than 10 characters, unusual props or elaborate sets. 10 scripts will be chosen by jury from the K-8 and 9-12 age brackets. These 10 scripts will be produced and performed by our own professional theater company Center Stage Productions in collaboration with the young playwright prior to the festival.

The Young Playwrights Festival will take place on Friday May 1st and Saturday May 2nd from 7-10 pm. For more details or questions please contact Preston Lawhorne at (401) 782-1018 x10 or preston@courthousearts.org. For more information visit www.courthousearts.org
