ABOUT US
The
Blank Theatre Young
Playwrights
COMPETITION &
FESTIVAL
is the
premiere nationwide forum
dedicated to developing and
producing plays and musicals
by playwrights 19 years of
age and younger.
Since 1993
we have developed and
produced 220 plays and
musicals by playwrights as
young as 13 years old!
How does the COMPETITION
Work?
Accomplished
professional writers make up
a team of mentors who help
winning
playwrights prepare their
work for public performance.
Experienced directors
and mentors work closely
with playwrights during the
rehearsal process.
Best of all, winning
playwrights see their work
performed on stage in Los
Angeles
by professional actors in
June 2012!
