Upcoming Events
2024 NC Audio Play Festival
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Announcing the fifth annual North Carolina Audio Play Festival! A yearly collaboration between Cary Playwrights’ Forum and Greensboro Playwrights’ Forum, this festival provides a platform for North Carolinian writers to have their work produced and published at no cost.
Every year the festival has a theme, and this year that theme is…
“WELCOME TO ______”
Setting is always an important consideration for playwrights, but not all settings are practical or convenient to stage with live actors. But audio plays have no such limitations! Let your creativity run wild and tell an original story about a change of scenery! First day at a new job? Fish out of water? Formerly dried-out fish back in the water? It’s up to you!
Script Submission Requirements:
- Scripts for selected audio plays should not exceed 10 minutes in length
- Scripts must be submitted by 11:59:59pm on April 30, 2024
- Playwright must be a North Carolina resident
- Scripts should be written in standard play format [link to video example]
- Maximum of two script submissions per playwright
- Due to expected volume of submissions, please don’t title your script as “Welcome to _____” – the festival theme isn’t meant to be a literal fill-in-the blank. Consider it an extra challenge!
Script Submission Link: COMING SOON!
