Calling all Georgia Playwrights

The deadline for the 2021 Essential Theatre Playwriting Award competition is April 23, 2020. Now in its 21st year, it is the only contest exclusively dedicated to the work of Georgia playwrights. The winning play will receive both a full production and a $750 cash prize. Playwrights must be current Georgia residents, and the plays must be previously unproduced. There are no restrictions as to style, length or subject matter, although we do prefer plays that would run an hour or more in performance. Plays can be e-mailed to pmhardy@aol.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.
