Calling all Georgia Playwrights

The deadline for the 2021 Essential Theatre Playwriting Award competition is April 23, 2020.

Playwrights must be residents of the State of Georgia. There are no restrictions as to style, length or subject matter, though previously unproduced plays that would run an hour or more in performance are preferred.  Plays can be e-mailed to peter@essentialtheatre.com in pdf or Word Document format or submitted through this website. Please include name, address and e-mail information IN THE SCRIPT. If you prefer, hard copies can be mailed to: The Essential Theatre, 1414 Foxhall Lane #10, Atlanta, GA 30316.

ESSENTIAL THEATRE: GIVING GEORGIA PLAYWRIGHTS A VOICE ON GEORGIA’S STAGE

Essential Theatre’s mission is to nurture and produce new works by Georgia playwrights and to enrich our audience’s experience by actively engaging them in the process. Since the first Essential Play Festival in 1999, we’ve premiered 31 new works by Georgia authors, all receiving productions of the highest artistic quality through Essential and many going on to receive future productions elsewhere in Atlanta and across the country. Our vision is a thriving, dynamic American theatre community in which Georgia playwrights are a recognized and celebrated part.
