We enable our young future leaders to turn theatre spaces into civic spaces, uniting communities despite their distances and differences with one voice saying it’s time to put an end to gun violence. It’s time we say ENOUGH!
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
ENOUGH! calls on TEENS (ages 13-19) from across the country to write and submit 10-minute plays that confront the issue of gun violence. Select playwrights will be published in a collected anthology that can be licensed for future productions and their play will be produced as part of our Nationwide Reading. Writers will also be paid for their work, memberships and craft training from The Dramatists Guild, and feedback from professional playwrights.
February 1 - April 20, 2023
