The Wisconsin Wrights New Play Project is open to current Wisconsin residents only.
Each playwright is limited to one script submission per project year.
Plays must be new works. Adaptations (or any other use of material protected by copyright) must include proof of rights to use source material. Translations will not be accepted.
A non-refundable reader's fee of $20 must accompany each submission. Checks should be made payable to the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
Please note: In order to receive a Wisconsin Wrights workshop and reading the playwright must be available to participate in project activities including rehearsals, production meetings, and public readings.
The residency is tenatively scheduled for May 26-June 1, 2013 with University Theatre workshops that week. Readings are scheduled for May 30, May 31, and June 1, 2013.
If you would like notification that your script has been received, please enclose a self-addressed, stamped postcard with your application. Award recipients will be notified by phone and mail after April 15, 2013.
Initial Screening: Each application will be screened for eligibility (a completed application packet, play in the correct format, signed release form, and entry fee).
First Round: Each script is read and evaluated by at least two first round readers. Based on evaluations semi-finalists will advance to the second round.
Final Round: The semi-finalists will be read and evaluated by the final panel of judges. Award recipients will be identified with three plays selected for workshops and readings through Wisconsin Wrights. Forward Theater Company and the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre will each select a work to be given a staged reading in their 2013-2014 season.
Feedback: First round readers and second round panel judges will be given the opportunity to provide written feedback on the works that they evaluate. If you would like to receive a copy of the feedback (if any) provided, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your entry materials.
