Contest Goal |
||||
|
We believe that producing new plays is essential to the life of the American Theatre. We hope to encourage the development of new work that is truly relevant to the life of specific communities; new work that encourages playwrights to write for the "hometown" theatres; new work that doesn't have to "redefine the theatre art" or "recolor the universe" but work that may tell old stories in new ways or new stories in old ways; new work that tells the audiences about the themselves NOT about the artist.
