About the Event:
The goal of the competition is to encourage the next generation of theater practitioners and audience by honoring their work and bringing it to life. The Theater Project is committed to the concept that participation in the arts builds fundamental skills in reading, writing and critical thinking, crucial at all ages. The competition was originally inspired by a generous donation from Bill Mesce, Jr. who will address the audience. Linden resident Mesce is an award-winning playwright/screenwriter whose novels have been published by Bantam Books.
On the day pf the awards ceremony, The Theater Project offers free tutorials to any interested entrant: a half hour script consultation with one of the adult playwrights and directors from The Theater Project. Young writers will also have the chance to meet with other contestants and the actors who are performing that day. |
