Annual Student Playwriting Competition

The Sixth Act's Annual Student Playwriting Competition encourages MCC students to write plays for an audience, to provide MCC students a competitive venue for their scripts, to offer winning playwrights the opportunity to see their scripts performed as staged readings with an eye towards future play development, and to offer VaPA students the opportunity to participate in the play-development process. Each year, three winning playwrights receive cash prizes, and one winning playwright also has his/her play submitted to a nationwide competition. Scripts are accepted for consideration beginning in September each academic year. This event is sponsored by Creative Arts.
