Announcing the 2011 VSA Playwright Discovery Program Call for Scripts

http://www.vsarts.org/x244.xml (Rules, Procedures, Applications here)

The VSA Playwright Discovery Program invites middle and high school students to

take a closer look at the world around them, examine how disability affects

their lives and the lives of others, and express their views through the art of

playwriting. Playwrights may write from their own experience or about an

experience in the life of another person or fictional character. Scripts can be

comedies, dramas, or even musicals—be creative! Young playwrights with and

without disabilities are encouraged to submit a script. Entries may be the work

of an individual student or a collaboration by a group or class of students.

The winning play will be professionally produced or staged at the F.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The winning playwright receives $2,000

and a trip to Washington, D.C., to view his or her work on stage. All

submissions must be received by April 15, 2011, for consideration.
