TO ENTER THE COMPETITION!!!

All selected plays will be workshopped over a two-week period with a guest dramaturg and director in Fall 2004. The workshop process will culminate in a public reading of each play during two nights of presentations. All plays selected will receive a cash award (Full lengths, $100; one-acts, $50; ten-minute, $25.).

The Performing Arts Department will produce a World Premiere play by a student writer(s) in the 2004-2005 season. That play will be selected from Hotchner submissions from the 2003 & 2004 A. E. Hotchner Competitions.
