Ten short plays by North Carolina playwrights will be selected for full production in NC 10 by 10. The festival runs July 16-19 at The Cary Theatre in Cary and July 23-26 at The PSI Theatre in the Durham Arts Council building in downtown Durham. NC 10 by 10 has grown to be the most-attended short-play festival in the region, with last year’s show having over 1300 patrons.

To celebrate 100 years of playmaking at UNC-Chapel Hills, the PlayMakers Repertory Company will award one playwright $7,500. We are looking for unproduced scripts that speak to the rich legacy of one of North Carolina’s most famous writers: Thomas Wolfe. The prize is named after the novelist whom William Faulkner called “the greatest talent of his generation.”  Wolfe’s writings reflect a largeness of spirit and an expansive vision of life, while anchored in what, where, and whom he knew.

North Carolina-based playwrights are invited to submit original (new) scripts for the competition. The winning playwright takes home $100.00 cash on SLAM Day! It’s a high-energy evening, and loads of crazy fun and organized chaos. Submissions should be sent by email to: “submissions@caryplaywrightsforum.org”
