11th Annual Dr. Floyd Gaffney Playwriting Competition

By August 31, 2017News

The Department of Theatre and Dance at University of California San Diego is calling all undergraduate playwrights. We are looking for previously unproduced, unpublished scripts highlighting the African-American experience in contemporary or historical terms. The winning script will be highlighted in association with our annual ‘Wagner New Play Festival.’ Adaptations from books and other forms are not allowed.

The winning playwright will receive:
· A $1000 honorarium
· A staged reading in spring of 2018 of the winning script to be presented on the campus of UC San Diego.
· Travel and housing costs covered for the winning playwright to be present for the reading of their play.
