SPARC's New Voices for the Theatre Welcomes High School Playwrights!
SPARC proudly announces the 23rd annual competition for New Voices for the Theatre, the nationally acclaimed statewide high school playwriting program that celebrates and cultivates young writing talent from across Virginia. One-act plays from around the state are submitted and only eight winners are chosen.The New Voices for the Theatre playwriting competition provides an exciting opportunity for Virginia students to work closely with professional theatre artists during a two-week residency. Students come to Richmond June 23-July 8, 2012 and work to bring their original one-act plays to life on the stage.
The young playwrights will get to work with this year's New Voices Playwright-in-Residence along with other theatre professionals and writers. During the residency program, students will participate in workshops and revise their winning scripts. The plays will be premiered as staged readings July 6th and 7th at Firehouse Theatre Project in Richmond, VA.
