Atlanta, GA – The Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition solicits plays from the leading MFA graduate programs in the United States and then conducts a rigorous selection process to find four finalists and one winning play. The winner receives a full production as part of the Alliance Theatre regular season. The winner and four finalists also receive development opportunities for their works including staged readings with industry professionals in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. A one-of-a-kind opportunity for emerging playwrights, the Competition transitions student playwrights to the world of professional theatre.
This year, the Alliance Theatre is pleased to present the four finalists of the Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition in free staged readings, as part of the Alliance/Kendeda Week celebrating new works. RSVPs are requested.
