| David Crawford Playwriting Committee |
The 2013 Play Fest is right around the corner. If you think that’s a long time in the distant future, you are not a playwright. With an October deadline, time is of the essence. I need those scripts by September….when we actually have time to read them! If you are a teacher and using the Play Fest as a teaching tool, 10 minute plays to one-acts are perfect. I discourage you from trying to teach your neophytes with a full-length requirement. Look at the TETA web site for full details on instructions for submission. Remember . . . use the student’s address and e-mail. We’ve had a devil of a time contacting winners and sending out checks.
On another thought: The TETA Playwriting Committee and Texas Dramatists work hand-in-hand to encourage playwrights and playwriting. Look at our web site at:
