Think you're the next Tennessee Williams?

The Arena Stage has launched its 12th annual Student Playwrights Project, a competition open to all students in fifth through 12th grades in the District and neighboring counties.

Winners will receive $250 and playwriting master classes and advice in script development from professional playwrights and directors. For the icing on the cake, they’ll also get to see their works performed by professional actors at Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater.
