Theatre BC's Annual Playwriting Competition

30/10/2020

Have you been searching for an artistic outlet during Covid Times? This may be just what you need...

Theatre BC’s Canadian Playwriting Competition for 2020 is accepting scripts on an ongoing basis until December 31. If you have written a one act or full length play, we encourage you to enter our competition.

Awards include $1000 for the full length category, $750 for one act, and a $500 prize for a play of special merit. At the end of each of three rounds of judging, panel members provide their comments on successful scripts which will move forward. Written full-length adjudications can also be provided for an additional fee. Writers have found these critiques to be very helpful feedback on their work.

One of the three winning scripts will be chosen by the judges to be workshopped during Theatre BC’s Mainstage Festival in July 2021. So, dust off that manuscript you’ve had laying around, finish up a script you have in the works, or get writing something new! Information on how to enter can be found here: https://theatrebc.org/playwriting-competition/

SOAP Theatre is Hunting for Script Ideas

4/10/2020

In response to COVID-19 restrictions limiting audiences to 50 people, and the requirement for safe physical distancing by actors, SOAP had to cancel its planned 2020-2021 season. However, we are exploring options for small-scale live performances to present in the next several months. Preferences include:

Comedy or drama
Short play or collection of short plays totaling less than one hour
Small cast of one or two actors per play
No close physical contact required by actors
Minimal set construction to keep production costs to a minimum

If you have seen or know of a play or two that may meet these requirements, please leave a comment below or contact us privately using this Form. We would also love to hear from you if you are interested in becoming involved as an actor, a director or some other capacity.

If your suggested script is chosen, we would love to provide you with two free tickets for opening night!
